== Node ==
[https://nodejs.org/en Node.js] is the system used for building the Stendhal web client. Like other tools, Node.js build commands can be executed directly. But it is recommended to use the appropriate Ant wrapper command.
When Node is installed, the commands <span style="color:darkred;">''node''</span>, <span style="color:darkred;">''npm''</span> (Node Package Manager), and <span style="color:darkred;">''npx''</span> (Node Package Executor) will be available. Optionally, from the Stendhal source code root directory, you can execute <span style="color:darkred;">''npm install --no-package-lock''</span> to install the required Node modules. If you do not, they will automatically be installed when you execute any build instructions for a component that uses the Node build system (such as the web client).
In addition to the instructions below, the [https://nodejs.org/en/download download page] includes instructions on how to install/manage Node using the Node Version Manager (NVM) for common desktop systems.
