### To build:
|
|
|
|
Prerequisites (Unix only):
|
|
|
|
* GCC 4.2 or newer
|
|
* Python 2.6 or 2.7
|
|
* GNU Make 3.81 or newer
|
|
* libexecinfo (FreeBSD and OpenBSD only)
|
|
|
|
Unix/Macintosh:
|
|
|
|
./configure
|
|
make
|
|
make install
|
|
|
|
If your python binary is in a non-standard location or has a
|
|
non-standard name, run the following instead:
|
|
|
|
export PYTHON=/path/to/python
|
|
$PYTHON ./configure
|
|
make
|
|
make install
|
|
|
|
Windows:
|
|
|
|
vcbuild.bat
|
|
|
|
You can download pre-built binaries for various operating systems from
|
|
[http://nodejs.org/download/](http://nodejs.org/download/). The Windows
|
|
and OS X installers will prompt you for the location to install to.
|
|
The tarballs are self-contained; you can extract them to a local directory
|
|
with:
|
|
|
|
tar xzf /path/to/node-<version>-<platform>-<arch>.tar.gz
|
|
|
|
Or system-wide with:
|
|
|
|
cd /usr/local && tar --strip-components 1 -xzf \
|
|
/path/to/node-<version>-<platform>-<arch>.tar.gz
|
|
|
|
### To run the tests:
|
|
|
|
Unix/Macintosh:
|
|
|
|
make test
|
|
|
|
Windows:
|
|
|
|
vcbuild.bat test
|
|
|
|
### To build the documentation:
|
|
|
|
make doc
|
|
|
|
### To read the documentation:
|
