 Each step provides a number of options that guide the user to completing the desired task.
 The following is a brief synopsis of each step.
 
-**Step 1: Build DPDK Libraries**
-
-Initially, the user must select a DPDK target to choose the correct target type and compiler options to use when building the libraries.
-
-The user must have all libraries, modules, updates and compilers installed in the system prior to this,
-as described in the earlier chapters in this Getting Started Guide.

-**Step 2: Setup Environment**
+**Step 1: Setup Environment**
 
 The user configures the Linux* environment to support the running of DPDK applications.
 Hugepages can be set up for NUMA or non-NUMA systems. Any existing hugepages will be removed.
 The DPDK kernel module that is needed can also be inserted in this step,
 and network ports may be bound to this module for DPDK application use.
 
-**Step 3: Run an Application**
+**Step 2: Run an Application**
 
 The user may run the test application once the other steps have been performed.
 The test application allows the user to run a series of functional tests for the DPDK.
 The testpmd application, which supports the receiving and sending of packets, can also be run.
