# Riak Node.js Client

**Riak Node.js Client** is a client which makes it easy to communicate with [Riak](http://basho.com/riak/), an open source, distributed database that focuses on high availability, horizontal scalability, and *predictable* latency. Both Riak and this code is maintained by [Basho](http://www.basho.com/).

## Integration Tests

You have two options to run Riak locally - either build from source, or use a pre-installed Riak package.

### Source

To setup the default test configuration, build a Riak node from a clone of `github.com/basho/riak`:

```sh
# check out latest release tag
git checkout riak-2.1.4
make locked-deps
make rel
```

[Source build documentation](http://docs.basho.com/riak/kv/latest/setup/installing/source/).

When building from source, the protocol buffers port will be `8087` and HTTP will be `8098`.

### Package

Install using your platform's package manager ([docs](http://docs.basho.com/riak/kv/latest/setup/installing/))

When installing from a package, the protocol buffers port will be `8087` and HTTP will be `8098`.

### Running Integration Tests

* Ensure you've initialized this repo's submodules:

```sh
git submodule update --init
```

* Run the following:

```sh
./tools/setup-riak
make integration-test
```
