Installing as a Linux package

For Linux, njs modulespackages can be used:

• nginx-module-njs — njsdynamic modules
• nginx-module-njs-dbg — debug symbols for thenginx-module-njs package

After package installation, njs dynamic modules need to be loaded with theload_moduledirective:

load_module modules/ngx_http_js_module.so;

or

load_module modules/ngx_stream_js_module.so;

Building from the sources

The repositorywith njs sources can be cloned with the following command (requires Git client):

git clone https://github.com/nginx/njs

Then the modules should be compiled fromnginx root directory using the--add-module configuration parameter:

./configure --add-module=_path-to-njs_/nginx

The modules can also be built asdynamic:

./configure --add-dynamic-module=_path-to-njs_/nginx

Adding QuickJS engine support

Make sure you have built the QuickJS library:

git clone https://github.com/bellard/quickjs cd quickjs CFLAGS='-fPIC' make libquickjs.a

At the module compilation step, also specify the include (-I) and library (-L) paths with the--with-cc-opt= and--with-ld-opt= configuration parameters:

./configure --add-module=_path-to-njs_/nginx
--with-cc-opt="-I _path-to-quickjs_"
--with-ld-opt="-L _path-to-quickjs_"

Building njs command-line utility

To build only the njs command-line utility, run./configure and make njs commands from njs root directory. After building, the utility is available as ./build/njs.
