io.js

This repository began as a GitHub fork of joyent/node where contributions, releases, and contributorship are under an open governance model.

We intend to release, with increasing regularity, releases which are compatible with the npm ecosystem that has been built to date for node.js.

To build:

Prerequisites (Unix only):

* `gcc` and `g++` 4.8 or newer, or
* `clang` and `clang++` 3.3 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

Prerequisites (Windows only):

* Python 2.6 or 2.7
* Visual Studio 2013 for Windows Desktop, or
* Visual Studio Express 2013 for Windows Desktop

Windows:

vcbuild nosign

You can download pre-built binaries for various operating systems from 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:

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 test

To build the documentation:

make doc

To read the documentation:

man doc/node.1

To build Intl (ECMA-402) support:

Note: more docs, including how to reduce disk footprint, are on the wiki.

Use existing installed ICU (Unix/Macintosh only):

pkg-config --modversion icu-i18n && ./configure --with-intl=system-icu

Build ICU from source:

First: Unpack latest ICU icu4c-##.#-src.tgz (or .zip) as deps/icu (You'll have: deps/icu/source/...)

Unix/Macintosh:

./configure --with-intl=full-icu

Windows:

vcbuild full-icu
