-## Install universal ctags (optional)
-
-Aider does not require ctags, and will operate just fine without it.
-
-Installing ctags is helpful if you plan to use aider and GPT-4 with repositories
-that have more than a handful of files.
-This allows aider to build a
-[map of your entire git repo](https://aider.chat/docs/ctags.html)
-and share it with GPT to help it better understand and modify large codebases.
-
-Aider only attempts to use ctags with GPT-4,
-and currently doesn't use ctags at all with GPT-3.5.
-So if your OpenAI API key doesn't support GPT-4, then you don't need ctags.
-
-You should consult the
-[universal ctags repo](https://github.com/universal-ctags/ctags)
-for official instructions on how to install it in your environment.
-But you may be able to install a compatible version using these commands:
-
-* Mac: `brew update && brew install universal-ctags`
-* Windows: `choco install universal-ctags`
-* Ubuntu: `sudo apt update && sudo apt install universal-ctags`
-
-You know aider has found a working ctags if you see this output when you launch aider:
-
-```
-Aider v0.8.3-dev
-Model: gpt-4
-Git repo: .git
-Repo-map: universal-ctags using 1024 tokens <======
-```
-
-Some things to be aware of:
-
-* The `ctags` command needs to be on your shell path so that it will run by default when aider invokes `ctags ...`.
-* You need a build which includes the json feature. You can check by running `ctags --version` and looking for `+json` in the `Optional compiled features` list.
