• install the node.js environment (using nvm is probably a good idea)
• install gulp: npm install -g gulp
• install git
• clone Jocly from github: git clone https://github.com/mi-g/jocly.git
• enter the jocly directory
• download required modules: npm install
• build: gulp build
• dist/browser contains the javascript library to build web applications, dist/node is the module to be used for node.js applications

Using Jocly in a Web page

After building Jocly, copy the dist/browser/ directory as jocly/ into your project filesystem.

Insert this line to your HTML source code:

<script src="jocly/jocly.js"></script>

You are now ready to use the Jocly API through the Jocly global object.

Using Jocly in a node.js application

After building Jocly, the dist/node/ directory as the Jocly module:

const Jocly = require("../jocly/dist/node");

Or, you can figure out how to use npm link and just do:

const Jocly = require("jocly");

You are now ready to use the Jocly API through the Jocly entry point.
