-## 1. Overview
-
-Welcome to the Leo programming language.
-
-Leo provides a high-level language that abstracts low-level cryptographic concepts and makes it easy to
-integrate private applications into your stack. Leo compiles to circuits making zero-knowledge proofs practical.
-
-The syntax of Leo is influenced by traditional programming languages like JavaScript, Scala, and Rust, with a strong emphasis on readability and ease-of-use.
-Leo offers developers with tools to sanity check circuits including unit tests, integration tests, and console functions.
-
-Leo is one part of a greater ecosystem for building private applications on [Aleo](https://aleo.org/).
-The language is currently in an alpha stage and is subject to breaking changes.
-
-## 2. Build Guide
-
-### 2.1 Install Rust
-
-We recommend installing Rust using [rustup](https://www.rustup.rs/). You can install `rustup` as follows:
-
-- macOS or Linux:
- ```bash
- curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
- ```
-
-- Windows (64-bit):
-
- Download the [Windows 64-bit executable](https://win.rustup.rs/x86_64) and follow the on-screen instructions.
-
-- Windows (32-bit):
-
- Download the [Windows 32-bit executable](https://win.rustup.rs/i686) and follow the on-screen instructions.
-
-### 2.2 Build from Source Code
-
-We recommend installing Leo by building from the source code as follows:
-
-```bash
-# Download the source code
-git clone https://github.com/AleoHQ/leo
-cd leo
-
-# Install 'leo'
-$ cargo install --path .
-```
-
-Now to use leo, in your terminal, run:
-```bash
-leo
-```
-
-## 3. Quick Start
-
-Use the Leo CLI to create a new project
-
-```bash
-# create a new `hello-world` Leo project
-leo new helloworld
-cd helloworld
-
-# build & setup & prove & verify
-leo run
-```
-
-The `leo new` command creates a new Leo project with a given name.
-
-The `leo run` command will compile the program into Aleo instructions and run it.
-
-Congratulations! You've just run your first Leo program.
-
-## 4. Troubleshooting
-If you are having trouble installing and using Leo, please check out our [guide](docs/troubleshooting.md).
-
-If the issue still persists, please [open an issue](https://github.com/AleoHQ/leo/issues/new/choose).
