Mike Klein 2b8b06e793 rewrite docs to explicitly use python2
I don't particularly care about Python 2 vs 3,
and don't think we're likely to leave 2 soon.

How to download Skia
====================
Install `depot_tools` and Git
---------------------------
Follow the instructions on [Installing Chromium's
depot_tools](http://www.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/install-depot-tools)
to download `depot_tools` (which includes gclient, git-cl, and Ninja).
Below is a summary of the necessary steps.
<!--?prettify lang=sh?-->
git clone 'https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/tools/depot_tools.git'
export PATH="${PWD}/depot_tools:${PATH}"
`depot_tools` will also install Git on your system, if it wasn't installed
already.
Clone the Skia repository
-------------------------
Skia can either be cloned using `git` or the `fetch` tool that is
installed with `depot_tools`.
<!--?prettify lang=sh?-->
git clone https://skia.googlesource.com/skia.git
# or
# fetch skia
cd skia
python2 tools/git-sync-deps
Getting started with Skia
-------------------------
You will probably now want to [build](./build) Skia.
Changing and contributing to Skia
---------------------------------
At this point, you have everything you need to build and use Skia! If
you want to make changes, and possibly contribute them back to the Skia
project, read [How To Submit a Patch](../dev/contrib/submit).
