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

       •   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
