Ensure that [NodeJS](http://nodejs.org/) is installed. This provides the platform on which the build tooling runs. 2. From the project folder, execute the following command: ```shell npm install ``` 3. To build the code, you can now run: ```shell npm run build ``` 4. You will find the compiled code in the `dist` folder, available in three module formats: AMD, CommonJS and ES6. ## Running The Tests To run the unit tests, first ensure that you have followed the steps above in order to install all dependencies and successfully build the library. Once you have done that, proceed with these additional steps: 1. You can now run the tests with this command: ```shell npm run test ``` You can optionally run either of the following: ```shell npm run test:watch # OR npm run test:debugger ``` to have better development experience, with watch/debuging capabilities ## Publishing Refer to `./doc/MAINTAINER.md` for details.
