===
### 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:
```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 2013 for Windows Desktop, or
* Visual Studio Express 2013 for Windows Desktop
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
```
### To build `Intl` (ECMA-402) support:
*Note:* more docs, including how to reduce disk footprint, are on
[the wiki](https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Intl).
#### Use existing installed ICU (Unix/Macintosh only):
```sh
pkg-config --modversion icu-i18n && ./configure --with-intl=system-icu
```
#### Build ICU from source:
First: Unpack latest ICU
[icu4c-**##.#**-src.tgz](http://icu-project.org/download) (or `.zip`)
as `deps/icu` (You'll have: `deps/icu/source/...`)
Unix/Macintosh:
```sh
./configure --with-intl=full-icu
```
Windows:
```sh
vcbuild full-icu
```
