-## Running in the Native Shell
-
-Copay can be executed from within a "native" application shell, providing some
-additional features such as native menus, notifications, tray integration, etc.
-This is accomplished using [Atom Shell](https://github.com/atom/atom-shell).
-
-To run and test Copay from within this context, first download the atom-shell
-package to `shell/bin/{platform}` (ignored by git), by running:
-
-```
-npm run setup-shell
-```
-
-Once this script has completed, you can launch the shell-based Copay by running:
-
-```
-npm run shell
-```
-
-## Building Native Shell Binaries/Installers (OSX)
-
-```
-npm run dist
-```
-
-This script will download atom shell binaries and combine them with Copay sources
-to build a DMG for osx-x64, an installer EXE for win32, and a .tar.gz for linux-x64.
-It was developed to be run on OSX.  The outputs are copied to the dist directory.
-
-DMG is created with hdiutil
-EXE is created with makensis (brew install makensis)
