# Node.js Bootstrapping Guide
2+
3+
## Windows
4+
5+
A [Boxstarter][] script can be used for easy setup of Windows systems with all
6+
the required prerequisites for Node.js development. This script will install
7+
the following [Chocolatey] packages:
8+
* [Git for Windows][] with the `git` and Unix tools added to the `PATH`
9+
* [Python 2.x][]
10+
* [Visual Studio 2017 Build Tools][] with [Visual C++ workload][]
11+
12+
To install Node.js prerequisites using [Boxstarter WebLauncher][], just open
13+
[this link](http://boxstarter.org/package/nr/url?https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nodejs/node/master/tools/bootstrap/windows_boxstarter)
14+
with Internet Explorer or Edge browser on the target machine.
15+
16+
Alternatively, you can use PowerShell. Run those commands from an elevated
17+
PowerShell terminal:
18+
```console
19+
Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Force
20+
iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('http://boxstarter.org/bootstrapper.ps1'))
21+
get-boxstarter -Force
22+
Install-BoxstarterPackage https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nodejs/node/master/tools/bootstrap/windows_boxstarter -DisableReboots
23+
```
24+
25+
Entire installation will take up about 8 GB of disk space.
26+
27+
## Linux
28+
29+
For building Node.js on Linux, following packages are required (note, that this
30+
can vary from distribution to distribution):
31+
* `git`
32+
* `python`
33+
* `gcc-c++` or `g++`
34+
* `make`
35+
36+
To bootstrap Node.js on Linux, run in terminal:
37+
* OpenSUSE: `sudo zypper install git python gcc-c++ make`
38+
* Fedora: `sudo dnf install git python gcc-c++ make`
39+
* Ubuntu, Debian: `sudo apt-get install git python g++ make`
40+
41+
## macOS
42+
43+
To install required tools on macOS, run in terminal:
44+
```console
45+
xcode-select --install
46+
```
