# Pulumi Node.js SDK
The Pulumi Node.js SDK lets you write cloud programs in JavaScript.
## Installation
Using npm:
```bash
$ npm install --save @pulumi/pulumi
```
Using yarn:
```bash
$ yarn add @pulumi/pulumi
```
This SDK is meant for use with the Pulumi CLI. Please visit [pulumi.io](https://pulumi.io) for
installation instructions.
## Building and Testing
For anybody who wants to build from source, here is how you do it.
### Prerequisites
This SDK uses Node.js and we support the Active LTS and Current releases, as defined by
[this table](https://github.com/nodejs/Release#release-schedule). We support both [NPM](https://npmjs.org) and
[Yarn](https://yarnpkg.com/lang/en/docs/install/) for package management.
At the moment, we only support building on macOS and Linux, where standard GNU tools like `make` are available.
### Make Targets
To build the SDK, simply run `make` from the root directory (where this `README` lives, at `sdk/nodejs/` from the repo's
root). This will build the code, run tests, and install the package and its supporting artifacts.
At the moment, for local development, we install everything into the go binary location (which defaults to `~/go/bin`).
You will want this on your `$PATH`.
The tests will verify that everything works, but feel free to try running `pulumi preview` and/or `pulumi update` from
the `examples/minimal/` directory. Remember to run `tsc` first, since `pulumi` expects JavaScript, not TypeScript.
