| # Compiling and Building |
| |
| We use NodeJS 14 to build skywalking-nodejs project, if you don't have NodeJS 14 installed, |
| you can choose a node version manager like [nvm](https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm) to easily |
| manage multiple node vesions, or you can start a Docker container and build this project inside |
| the container. |
| |
| ```shell |
| # Suppose you have the source codes in folder skywalking-nodejs |
| docker run -it --rm -v $(pwd)/skywalking-nodejs:/workspace -w /workspace node:14 bash |
| ``` |
| |
| Then run the following commands to build the project: |
| |
| ```shell |
| npm install |
| npm run build |
| ``` |
| |
| Warnings can be ignored, but if you have any error that prevents you to continue, try |
| `rm -rf node_modules/` and then rerun the commands above. |
