Building & Testing

Browsix requires **nodejs 6.x** or later, which is more recent than
the version packaged in Ubuntu Wiley. It has specifically been tested
with node 6.17.1.
To get a recent version of node, follow the instructions on the [node.js
website](https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager/#debian-and-ubuntu-based-linux-distributions).
If you don't know whether you should choose node 4.x or 5.x, choose
4.x (it is the long-term support branch).
[nvm](https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm) can be used to install and manage
multiple versions of node on a single machine.
Note that Browsix uses gulp v3.x, which has limited compatibility with
newer versions of node. For example, it's known to not work with node 12.x.

Browsix has three other dependencies: `git`, `npm` (usually installed
along with node), and `make`, and builds on OSX and Linux systems.
