Prepare your development environment

This document describes how to prepare your development environment to use the Microsoft Azure IoT SDK for Node.js.

## Setup your development environment

Complete the following steps to set up your development environment:

  • Ensure that Node.js version 0.12.x or later is installed. Run node --version at the command line to check the version. For information about using a package manager to install Node.js on Linux, see Installing Node.js via package manager.

  • When you have installed Node.js, clone the latest version of this repository (azure-iot-sdks) to your development machine or device. You should always use the master branch for the latest version of the libraries and samples.

  • If you are using Windows, open the Node.js command prompt and navigate to the node folder in your local copy of this repository (azure-iot-sdks). Run the build\dev-setup.cmd script to prepare your development environment. Then run the build\build.cmd script to verify your installation.

  • If you are using Linux, open a shell and navigate to the node folder in your local copy of this repository (azure-iot-sdks). Run the build/dev-setup.sh script to prepare your development environment. Then run the build/build.sh script to verify your installation.

## Sample applications

This repository contains various Node.js sample applications that illustrate how to use the Microsoft Azure IoT SDK for Node.js. To learn how to run a sample application that sends messages to an IoT hub, see Getting started - running a Node.js sample application.
