   set a few environment variables to point the toolchains to your installation path.
     * `vs2019_install = DRIVE:\path\to\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community`, replacing `2019` and `Community` with your installed versions and replacing `DRIVE:` with the drive that Visual Studio is on. Often, this will be `C:`.
     * `WINDOWSSDKDIR = DRIVE:\path\to\Windows Kits\10`, replacing `DRIVE:` with the drive that Windows Kits is on. Often, this will be `C:`.

-  * Contrary to the `depot_tools` setup instructions linked below, you will need
-  to use your locally installed Python with at least version 2.7.10 (with
-  support for TLS 1.2). To do so, make sure that in **PATH**, your locally
-  installed Python comes before the `depot_tools` folder. Right now
-  `depot_tools` still comes with Python 2.7.6, which will cause the `gclient`
-  command to fail (see https://crbug.com/868864).
