How to install and build a PDFKit branch

1. Install NodeJS from https://nodejs.org/en/download/.

2. Open command line (Windows+R).

3. Install dependencies with NodeJS:

    npm install browserify coffeeify brfs
   

4. • You can install the latest version from the official repository:

        npm install pdfkit
     

   • Or you can use a specific Github branch: (replace USERNAME and BRANCHNAME)

        npm install https://github.com/USERNAME/pdfkit/tarball/BRANCHNAME
     

5. Compile PDFKit into a single javascript file with Browserify:

    node_modules\.bin\browserify --standalone PDFDocument --transform coffeeify --extension .coffee node_modules\pdfkit\lib\document.coffee > pdfkit.js
   

6. Usually the compiled file can be found at C:\Users\user\pdfkit.js
