+
+### To build:
+
+Prerequisites (Unix only):
+
+    * GCC 4.2 or newer
+    * G++ 4.2 or newer
+    * Python 2.6 or 2.7
+    * GNU Make 3.81 or newer
+    * libexecinfo (FreeBSD and OpenBSD only)
+
+Unix/Macintosh:
+
+```sh
+./configure
+make
+make install
+```
+
+If your python binary is in a non-standard location or has a
+non-standard name, run the following instead:
+
+```sh
+export PYTHON=/path/to/python
+$PYTHON ./configure
+make
+make install
+```
+
+Prerequisites (Windows only):
+
+    * Python 2.6 or 2.7
+    * Visual Studio 2010 or 2012
+
+Windows:
+
+```sh
+vcbuild nosign
+```
+
+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 in which to install.
+The tarballs are self-contained; you can extract them to a local directory
+with:
+
+```sh
+tar xzf /path/to/node-<version>-<platform>-<arch>.tar.gz
+```
+
+Or system-wide with:
+
+```sh
+cd /usr/local && tar --strip-components 1 -xzf \
+                    /path/to/node-<version>-<platform>-<arch>.tar.gz
+```
+
+### To run the tests:
+
+Unix/Macintosh:
+
+```sh
+make test
+```
+
+Windows:
+
+```sh
+vcbuild test
+```
+
+### To build the documentation:
+
+```sh
+make doc
+```
+
+### To read the documentation:
+
+```sh
+man doc/node.1
+```
+
+### `Intl` (ECMA-402) support:
+
+[Intl](https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Intl) support is not
+enabled by default.
+
+#### "small" (English only) support
+
+This option will build with "small" (English only) support, but
+the full `Intl` (ECMA-402) APIs.  With `--download=all` it will
+download the ICU library as needed.
+
+Unix/Macintosh:
+
+```sh
+./configure --with-intl=small-icu --download=all
+```
+
+Windows:
+
+```sh
+vcbuild small-icu download-all
+```
+
+The `small-icu` mode builds
+with English-only data. You can add full data at runtime.
+
+*Note:* more docs are on
+[the wiki](https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Intl).
+
+#### Build with full ICU support (all locales supported by ICU):
+
+With the `--download=all`, this may download ICU if you don't
+have an ICU in `deps/icu`.
+
+Unix/Macintosh:
+
+```sh
+./configure --with-intl=full-icu --download=all
+```
+
+Windows:
+
+```sh
+vcbuild full-icu download-all
+```
+
+#### Build with no Intl support `:-(`
+
+The `Intl` object will not be available.
+This is the default at present, so this option is not normally needed.
+
+Unix/Macintosh:
+
+```sh
+./configure --with-intl=none
+```
+
+Windows:
+
+```sh
+vcbuild intl-none
+```
+
+#### Use existing installed ICU (Unix/Macintosh only):
+
+```sh
+pkg-config --modversion icu-i18n && ./configure --with-intl=system-icu
+```
+
+#### Build with a specific ICU:
+
+You can find other ICU releases at
+[the ICU homepage](http://icu-project.org/download).
+Download the file named something like `icu4c-**##.#**-src.tgz` (or
+`.zip`).
+
+Unix/Macintosh: from an already-unpacked ICU
+
+```sh
+./configure --with-intl=[small-icu,full-icu] --with-icu-source=/path/to/icu
+```
+
+Unix/Macintosh: from a local ICU tarball
+
+```sh
+./configure --with-intl=[small-icu,full-icu] --with-icu-source=/path/to/icu.tgz
+```
+
+Unix/Macintosh: from a tarball URL
+
+```sh
+./configure --with-intl=full-icu --with-icu-source=http://url/to/icu.tgz
+```
+
+Windows: first unpack latest ICU to `deps/icu`
+  [icu4c-**##.#**-src.tgz](http://icu-project.org/download) (or `.zip`)
+  as `deps/icu` (You'll have: `deps/icu/source/...`)
+
+```sh
+vcbuild full-icu
+```
