+If you choose to install your own OS, whether on physical hardware or in a
+VM, we cannot support you. That said, the setup script in step 3 requires a
+64 bit Ubuntu machine.  We have only tested this with Ubuntu 12.04.  *If
+you do not have 64 bit hardware the install script will not work* and you
+will have to do a manual build.  It is best if you do not already have
+postgres installed on your machine.
