 node-gyp
 =========
 ## Node.js native addon build tool

 `node-gyp` is a cross-platform command-line tool written in Node.js for compiling
 native addon modules for Node.js.  It bundles the [gyp](https://gyp.gsrc.io)
 project used by the Chromium team and takes away the pain of dealing with the
 various differences in build platforms. It is the replacement to the `node-waf`
 program which is removed for node `v0.8`. If you have a native addon for node that
 still has a `wscript` file, then you should definitely add a `binding.gyp` file
 to support the latest versions of node.

 Multiple target versions of node are supported (i.e. `0.8`, ..., `4`, `5`, `6`,
 etc.), regardless of what version of node is actually installed on your system
 (`node-gyp` downloads the necessary development files or headers for the target version).

 ## Features

  * Easy to use, consistent interface
  * Same commands to build your module on every platform
  * Supports multiple target versions of Node


 Installation
 ------------

 You can install with `npm`:

 ``` bash
 $ npm install -g node-gyp
 ```

 You will also need to install:

 ### On Unix

    * `python` (`v2.7` recommended, `v3.x.x` is __*not*__ supported)
    * `make`
    * A proper C/C++ compiler toolchain, like [GCC](https://gcc.gnu.org)

 ### On macOS

    * `python` (`v2.7` recommended, `v3.x.x` is __*not*__ supported) (already installed on macOS)
    * [Xcode](https://developer.apple.com/xcode/download/)
      * You also need to install the `Command Line Tools` via Xcode. You can find this under the menu `Xcode -> Preferences -> Locations` (or by running `xcode-select --install` in your Terminal)
        * This step will install `gcc` and the related toolchain containing `make`

 ### On Windows

 #### Option 1

 Install all the required tools and configurations using Microsoft's [windows-build-tools](https://github.com/felixrieseberg/windows-build-tools) using `npm install --global --production windows-build-tools` from an elevated PowerShell or CMD.exe (run as Administrator).

 #### Option 2

 Install tools and configuration manually:
    * Install Visual C++ Build Environment: [Visual Studio Build Tools](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/thank-you-downloading-visual-studio/?sku=BuildTools)
    (using "Visual C++ build tools" workload) or [Visual Studio 2017 Community](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/pl/thank-you-downloading-visual-studio/?sku=Community)
    (using the "Desktop development with C++" workload)
    * Install [Python 2.7](https://www.python.org/downloads/) (`v3.x.x` is not supported), and run `npm config set python python2.7` (or see below for further instructions on specifying the proper Python version and path.)
    * Launch cmd, `npm config set msvs_version 2017`

    If the above steps didn't work for you, please visit [Microsoft's Node.js Guidelines for Windows](https://github.com/Microsoft/nodejs-guidelines/blob/master/windows-environment.md#compiling-native-addon-modules) for additional tips.

 If you have multiple Python versions installed, you can identify which Python
 version `node-gyp` uses by setting the '--python' variable:

 ``` bash
 $ node-gyp --python /path/to/python2.7
 ```

 If `node-gyp` is called by way of `npm` *and* you have multiple versions of
 Python installed, then you can set `npm`'s 'python' config key to the appropriate
 value:

 ``` bash
 $ npm config set python /path/to/executable/python2.7
 ```

 How to Use
 ----------

 To compile your native addon, first go to its root directory:

 ``` bash
 $ cd my_node_addon
 ```

 The next step is to generate the appropriate project build files for the current
 platform. Use `configure` for that:

 ``` bash
 $ node-gyp configure
 ```

 Auto-detection fails for Visual C++ Build Tools 2015, so `--msvs_version=2015`
 needs to be added (not needed when run by npm as configured above):
 ``` bash
 $ node-gyp configure --msvs_version=2015
 ```

 __Note__: The `configure` step looks for the `binding.gyp` file in the current
 directory to process. See below for instructions on creating the `binding.gyp` file.

 Now you will have either a `Makefile` (on Unix platforms) or a `vcxproj` file
 (on Windows) in the `build/` directory. Next invoke the `build` command:

 ``` bash
 $ node-gyp build
 ```

 Now you have your compiled `.node` bindings file! The compiled bindings end up
 in `build/Debug/` or `build/Release/`, depending on the build mode. At this point
 you can require the `.node` file with Node and run your tests!

 __Note:__ To create a _Debug_ build of the bindings file, pass the `--debug` (or
 `-d`) switch when running either the `configure`, `build` or `rebuild` command.


 The "binding.gyp" file
 ----------------------

 Previously when node had `node-waf` you had to write a `wscript` file. The
 replacement for that is the `binding.gyp` file, which describes the configuration
 to build your module in a JSON-like format. This file gets placed in the root of
 your package, alongside the `package.json` file.

 A barebones `gyp` file appropriate for building a node addon looks like:

 ``` python
 {
   "targets": [
     {
       "target_name": "binding",
       "sources": [ "src/binding.cc" ]
     }
   ]
 }
 ```

 Configuration
 --------

 __`node-gyp` responds to environment variables or `npm` configuration__
 1. Environment variables take the form `npm_config_OPTION_NAME` for any of the
  options listed above (dashes in option names should be replaced by underscores).
  These work also when `node-gyp` is invoked directly:
  `$ export npm_config_devdir=/tmp/.gyp`
  or on Windows
  `> set npm_config_devdir=c:\temp\.gyp`
 2. As `npm` configuration, variables take the form `OPTION_NAME`.
  This way only works when `node-gyp` is executed by `npm`:
  `$ npm config set [--global] devdir /tmp/.gyp`
  `$ npm i buffertools`
