requirements

  • nodejs
  • npm

windows

you also need:

  • python for windows, version >= 2.5 < 3.0.0 . >= 3.0.0 won't work (node-gyp require >= 2.5 < 3.0.0).

setup

If not already done, install the latest version of node and npm, and then:

npm install

running the tests

linux

Check if mocha is installed globally:

mocha -V

If not, you may install it like so:

npm install -g mocha

To run the tests without installing mocha globally:

make tests

...or simply, if you installed mocha globally:

mocha

...and if you're cool enough:

mocha -R nyan

windows

I haven't found a sweet way to run mocha tests on windows, but that works:

>node node_modules\mocha\bin\mocha

cool kids use:

>node node_modules\mocha\bin\mocha -R nyan
