node-build-prerelease with the [Homebrew][].\nInstalling via Homebrew will make node-build aware of Node.js prereleases automatically.\n\n_This is the recommended method of installation if you installed nodenv or node-build with Homebrew._\n\n    brew install nodenv/nodenv/node-build-prerelease\n\nThere is the added delay between when a new version of node-build-prerelease is released, and when the Homebrew formula is updated to point to it.\nTypically this additional delay is only a matter of days and is well worth the simplicity of using Homebrew to manage nodenv plugins.\n\n(And if you _really_ want to be on the bleeding edge of node-build, you can skip waiting on node-build/node-build-prerelease to update and scrape new node releases yourself with [node-build-update-defs][].)\n\n### Installing via git-clone\n\nInstalling node-build-prerelease as a nodenv plugin will make node-build aware of the prerelease build definitions automatically.\n\n    git clone https://github.com/nodenv/node-build-prerelease.git $(nodenv root)/plugins/node-build-prerelease\n\nThis will install the latest development version of node-build-prerelease into the `$(nodenv root)/plugins/node-build-prerelease` directory.\nFrom that directory, you can also check out a specific release tag.\nTo update node-build-prerelease, run `git pull` to download the latest changes or use [nodenv-update][].\n\n### Installing via npm\n\nInstalling via npm is possible, though not really recommended.\nKeep in mind that there is the risk you are installing a nodenv plugin into a node that is itself managed by nodenv.\n\n    npm install -g @nodenv/node-build-prerelease\n\nAfter installing, node-build will need to be made aware of the new build definitions.\nsee [setting node_build_definitions][]\n\n### Installing manually\n\nFor precise control over the installation, you can install it manually.\n\n    git clone https://github.com/nodenv/node-build-prerelease.git\n    cd node-build-prerelease\n    ./install.sh\n\nThis will install node-build-prerelease into `/usr/local`.\nIf you do not have write permission to `/usr/local`, you will need to run `sudo ./install.sh` instead.\nYou can install to a different prefix by setting the `PREFIX` environment variable.\n(Be aware, if you install to a prefix other than that which node-build is installed, you will need to manually set `NODE_BUILD_DEFINITIONS`.)\n\nTo update node-build-prerelease after it has been installed, run `git pull` in your cloned copy of the repository, then re-run the install script.\nAfter installing, node-build will need to be made aware of the new build definitions.\nsee [setting node_build_definitions][]\n\n## Usage\n\nIf installed via Homebrew, as a nodenv plugin, or manually using the same `PREFIX` as node-build, then node-build should automatically be aware of the new prerelease build definitions.\nVerify by running `nodenv install --list` to see if it includes the release candidate builds. (e.g. 8.0.0-rc.2)\n\nOtherwise, node-build will need to be made aware of the new build definitions manually.\n\n### Setting NODE_BUILD_DEFINITIONS\n\n`NODE_BUILD_DEFINITIONS` is a colon-separated list of paths that include build definitions.\n\nThis is done by adding `/path/to/node-build-prerelease/share/node-build` to the `NODE_BUILD_DEFINITIONS` variable.\nYou can add node-build-prerelease's share path to it in your `.bashrc`:\n\n    export NODE_BUILD_DEFINITIONS=$NODE_BUILD_DEFINITIONS:/path/to/node-build-prerelease/share/node-build\n\nOr add it only when necessary:\n\n    NODE_BUILD_DEFINITIONS=$NODE_BUILD_DEFINITIONS:/path/to/node-build-prerelease/share/node-build nodenv install --list\n\nEither way, you'll need to know the exact location of where node-build-prerelease was installed.\nIf installed globally via a nodenv-managed npm, it would look something like:\n`$(nodenv prefix)/lib/node_modules/@nodenv/node-build-prerelease/share/node-build`.\nIf installed manually to `PREFIX=/some/path`, it would look something like:\n`/some/path/share/node-build`.\n\n### Passing build definition directly\n\nBoth `nodenv install` and `node-build` accept a path to a custom definition file in place of a version name.\n\n    nodenv install /path/to/node-build-prerelease/share/node-build/8.0.0-rc.2\n\nOr:\n\n    node-build /path/to/node-build-prerelease/share/node-build/8.0.0-rc.2 /dest/path/8.0.0-rc.2\n\n[homebrew]: http://brew.sh\n[nodenv]: https://github.com/nodenv/nodenv\n[node-build]: https://github.com/nodenv/node-build\n[nodenv-update]: https://github.com/nodenv/nodenv-update\n[node-build-update-defs]: https://github.com/nodenv/node-build-update-defs\n[setting node_build_definitions]: #setting-node_build_definitions\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fnodenv%2Fnode-build-prerelease","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fnodenv%2Fnode-build-prerelease","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fnodenv%2Fnode-build-prerelease/lists"}
