+### Windows and Linux
+
On Windows and Linux, you can download a .zip file with the arrow dependencies
from the
nightly repository.
-Windows users then can set the `RWINLIB_LOCAL` environment variable to point
to that
-zip file before installing the `arrow` R package. On Linux, you'll need to
create a `libarrow` directory inside the R package directory and unzip that
file into it. Version numbers in that
-repository correspond to dates, and you will likely want the most recent.
To see what nightlies are available, you can use Arrow's (or any other S3
client's) S3 listing functionality to see what is in the bucket
`s3://arrow-r-nightly/libarrow/bin`:
```
nightly <- s3_bucket("arrow-r-nightly")
nightly$ls("libarrow/bin")
```
+Version numbers in that repository correspond to dates.
-## Developer environment setup
+#### Windows
-If you need to alter both the Arrow C++ library and the R package code, or if
you can’t get a binary version of the latest C++ library elsewhere, you’ll need
to build it from source too. This section discusses how to set up a C++ build
configured to work with the R package. For more general resources, see the
[Arrow C++ developer
-guide](https://arrow.apache.org/docs/developers/cpp/building.html).

-1. Configuring the Arrow library build (using `cmake`) — this specifies how
you want the build to go, what features to include, etc.
-2. Building the Arrow library — this actually compiles the Arrow library
-3. Install the Arrow library — this organizes and moves the compiled Arrow
library files into the location specified in the configuration
-4. Building the R package — this builds the C++ code in the R package, and
installs the R package for you
+There are five major steps to the process — the first four are relevant to all
Arrow developers, and the last one is specific to developers making changes to
the R package.

Review comment:
Yeah, my intention was to make it really easy to navigate through the
page, using the table of contents that appears at the side, and the heading
levels, to signpost what bits applies to what.
I could add it back in though - will see how including it affects the
contents list.
