-Runtime Management
-==================
-
-The runtimes are managed with asdf and are activated in this project via the

-Get started
-===========
-
-If you have asdf installed you can install the runtimes of this project by:
-
-.. code:: bash
-
-   $ cd /path/to/searxng
-   $ asdf install          # will install runtimes listed in .tool-versions
-   ...

-Manage Versions
-===============
-
-If you want to perform a ``test`` with special runtime versions of nodejs,
-python or shellcheck, you can patch the ``.tool-versions``:
-
-.. code:: diff

-
-To install use ``asdf install`` again.  If the runtime tools have changed, any
-existing (nodejs and python) environments should be cleaned up with a ``make
-clean``.

-To `download asdf`_ and `install asdf`_:
-
-.. code:: bash
-
-   $ git clone https://github.com/asdf-vm/asdf.git ~/.asdf --branch <version>
-   $ echo '. "$HOME/.asdf/asdf.sh"' >> ~/.bashrc
-   $ echo '. "$HOME/.asdf/completions/asdf.bash"' >> ~/.bashrc

-   $ asdf plugin add python https://github.com/danhper/asdf-python.git
-   $ asdf plugin add shellcheck https://github.com/luizm/asdf-shellcheck.git
-
-Each plugin has dependencies, to compile runtimes visit the URLs from above and
-look out for the dependencies you need to install on your OS, on Debian for the
-runtimes listed above you will need:
-
-.. code:: bash
-
-  $ sudo apt update
-  $ sudo apt install \
-         dirmngr gpg curl gawk coreutils build-essential libssl-dev zlib1g-dev \
-         libbz2-dev libreadline-dev libsqlite3-dev \
-         libncursesw5-dev xz-utils tk-dev libxml2-dev libxmlsec1-dev libffi-dev liblzma-dev
-
-With dependencies installed you can install/compile runtimes:
-
-.. code:: bash
-
-  $ asdf install golang latest
-  $ asdf install nodejs latest
-  $ asdf install python latest
-  $ asdf install shellcheck latest
-
-Python will be compiled and will take a while.
-
-In the repository the version is defined in `.tool-versions`_. Outside the
-repository, its recommended that the runtime should use the versions of the OS
-(`Fallback to System Version`_) / if not already done register the system
-versions global:
