## Quickstart



### Installing the client library



```bash

npm install @google-cloud/common

```



It's unlikely you will need to install this package directly, as it will be

installed as a dependency when you install other `@google-cloud` packages.



The [Google Cloud Common Node.js Client API Reference][client-docs] documentation

also contains samples.



## Supported Node.js Versions



Our client libraries follow the [Node.js release schedule](https://github.com/nodejs/release#release-schedule).

Libraries are compatible with all current _active_ and _maintenance_ versions of

Node.js.

If you are using an end-of-life version of Node.js, we recommend that you update

as soon as possible to an actively supported LTS version.



Google's client libraries support legacy versions of Node.js runtimes on a

best-efforts basis with the following warnings:



* Legacy versions are not tested in continuous integration.

* Some security patches and features cannot be backported.

* Dependencies cannot be kept up-to-date.



Client libraries targeting some end-of-life versions of Node.js are available, and

can be installed through npm [dist-tags](https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/dist-tag).

The dist-tags follow the naming convention `legacy-(version)`.

For example, `npm install @google-cloud/common@legacy-8` installs client libraries

for versions compatible with Node.js 8.



## Versioning



This library follows [Semantic Versioning](http://semver.org/).



This library is considered to be **stable**. The code surface will not change in backwards-incompatible ways

unless absolutely necessary (e.g. because of critical security issues) or with

an extensive deprecation period. Issues and requests against **stable** libraries

are addressed with the highest priority.
