Installation and Usage
----------------------

JSDoc supports Node.js 0.10 and later. You can install JSDoc in your project's
`node_modules` folder, or you can install it globally.

To install the latest version available on NPM:

npm install jsdoc

To install the latest development version:

npm install git+https://github.com/jsdoc3/jsdoc.git

If you installed JSDoc locally, the JSDoc command-line tool is available in
`./node_modules/.bin`. To generate documentation for the file
`yourJavaScriptFile.js`:

./node_modules/.bin/jsdoc yourJavaScriptFile.js

Or if you installed JSDoc globally, simply run the `jsdoc` command:

jsdoc yourJavaScriptFile.js

By default, the generated documentation is saved in a directory named `out`. You
can use the `--destination` (`-d`) option to specify another directory.

Run `jsdoc --help` for a complete list of command-line options.
