Building Tofino

All platforms

Ensure you have the following installed and accessible in your PATH environment variable.

• Node.js >= 6.1.0
  • To manage multiple node installations, consider using nvm
• Python 2.7 (python must be in path)

Windows

• Install Visual Studio 2013
• Use the VS2013 Developer Command Prompt, or otherwise have your environment variables set correctly.

Linux

• Install your platform's build essentials, i.e. sudo apt-get install build-essential

OSX

Installation instructions here use Homebrew. You don't need nvm, but makes installing and managing node versions simple.

$ brew install node python

Building

Once all dependencies are installed, you should be able to just install the node dependencies via npm:

npm install

At this point you can run a build via:

npm run dev
