# Bitcore JavaScript Library for Bitcoin
[](https://www.npmjs.org/package/bitcore-lib)
[](https://travis-ci.org/bitpay/bitcore-lib)
[](https://coveralls.io/r/bitpay/bitcore-lib)
**A pure and powerful JavaScript library for Bitcoin.**
## Principles
Bitcoin is a powerful new peer-to-peer platform for the next generation of financial technology. The decentralized nature of the Bitcoin network allows for highly resilient bitcoin infrastructure, and the developer community needs reliable, open-source tools to implement bitcoin apps and services. Bitcore JavaScript Library provides a reliable API for JavaScript apps that need to interface with Bitcoin.
## Get Started
Clone the Bitcore monorepo and `npm install`:
```sh
git clone https://github.com/bitpay/bitcore.git
npm install
```
`cd` into bitcore-lib repository:
```sh
cd packages/bitcore-lib
```
## Building the Browser Bundle
To build a bitcore-lib full bundle for the browser:
```sh
gulp browser
```
This will generate files named `bitcore-lib.js` and `bitcore-lib.min.js`.
## Running Tests
```sh
npm test
```
You can also run just the Node.js tests with `gulp test:node`, just the browser tests with `gulp test:browser` or create a test coverage report (you can open `coverage/lcov-report/index.html` to visualize it) with `gulp coverage`.
