+We have detailed instructions for [how to install the harness and device in a car](https://comma.ai/setup). Note that it's possible to run openpilot on [other hardware](https://blog.comma.ai/self-driving-car-for-free/), although it's not plug-and-play.
 
-Running on PC
-------
-
-All openpilot services can run as usual on a PC without requiring special hardware or a car. You can also run openpilot on recorded or simulated data to develop or experiment with openpilot.
-
-With openpilot's tools, you can plot logs, replay drives, and watch the full-res camera streams. See [the tools README](tools/README.md) for more information.
-
-You can also run openpilot in simulation [with the MetaDrive simulator](tools/sim/README.md). This allows openpilot to drive around a virtual car on your Ubuntu machine.
-
-A PC running openpilot can also control your vehicle if it is connected to a [webcam](https://github.com/commaai/openpilot/tree/master/tools/webcam), a [black panda](https://comma.ai/shop/products/panda), and a [harness](https://comma.ai/shop/products/car-harness).
