-## Pre-built Binary
-
-This repository includes `arcup`, a script that installs Arc node binaries
-into `$ARC_BIN_DIR` directory, defaulting to `~/.arc/bin`:
-
-```sh
-curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/circlefin/arc-node/main/arcup/install | bash
-```
-
-More precisely, the [configured paths](./running-an-arc-node.md#configure-paths)
-for Arc nodes are based on the `$ARC_HOME` variable, with `~/.arc` as default value.
-If `$ARC_BIN_DIR` is not set, its default value is `$ARC_HOME/bin`, defaulting
-to `~/.arc/bin`.
-`$ARC_BIN_DIR` must be part of the system `PATH`.
-
-To be sure that the binaries installed under `$ARC_BIN_DIR` are available in
-the `PATH`, load the produced environment file:
-
-```sh
-source $ARC_HOME/env
-```
-
-Next, verify that the three Arc binaries are installed:
-
-```sh
-arc-snapshots --version
-arc-node-execution --version
-arc-node-consensus --version
-```
-
-The `arcup` script should also be in the `PATH`
-and can be used to update Arc binaries:
-
-```sh
-arcup
-```
