bionic (1) node-gyp.1.gz

NAME

       node-gyp -- native addon build tool for node

SYNOPSIS

       node-gyp <command> [args]

DESCRIPTION

       node-gyp  is  a  cross-platform  command-line tool for compiling native addon modules for Node.js, taking
       away the pain of dealing with the various differences in build platforms.  It is the replacement  to  the
       node-waf  program,  which  is  removed  since  node  0.8. Native addons still using a wscript file should
       definitely add a binding.gyp file to support the latest versions of node.

       Multiple target versions of node are supported (from node 0.6 to the next released  version),  regardless
       of  what  version  of  node  is  actually  installed  on  your  system;  node-gyp downloads the necessary
       development files for the target version.

COMMANDS

       •   build Invokes make/msbuild.exe and builds the native addon

       •   clean Removes any the build dir if it exists

       •   configure Generates project build files for the current platform

       •   rebuild Runs clean, configure and build all in a row

       •   install <version> Installs node development header files for the given version

       •   list Lists the currently installed node development file versions

       •   remove <version> Removes the node development header files for the given version
