##Installation
**Via npm for Node.js**
```
$ npm install ripple-lib
```
**Via bower (for browser use)**
```
$ bower install ripple
```
See the [bower-ripple repo](https://github.com/ripple/bower-ripple) for additional bower instructions.
**Building ripple-lib for browser environments**
ripple-lib uses Gulp to generate browser builds. These steps will generate minified and non-minified builds of ripple-lib in the `build/` directory.
```
$ git clone https://github.com/ripple/ripple-lib
$ npm install
$ npm run build
```
**Restricted browser builds**
You may generate browser builds that contain a subset of features. To do this, run `./node_modules/.bin/gulp build-<name>`
+ `build-core` Contains the functionality to make requests and listen for events such as `ledgerClose`. Only `ripple.Remote` is currently exposed. Advanced features like transaction submission and orderbook tracking are excluded from this build.
##Quick start
`Remote.js` ([remote.js](https://github.com/ripple/ripple-lib/blob/develop/src/js/ripple/remote.js)) is the point of entry for interacting with rippled
```js
/* Loading ripple-lib with Node.js */
var Remote = require('ripple-lib').Remote;
/* Loading ripple-lib in a webpage */
// var Remote = ripple.Remote;
var remote = new Remote({
// see the API Reference for available options
servers: [ 'wss://s1.ripple.com:443' ]
});
remote.connect(function() {
/* remote connected */
remote.requestServerInfo(function(err, info) {
// process err and info
});
});
```
##Running tests
1. Clone the repository
2. `cd` into the repository and install dependencies with `npm install`
3. `npm test`
**Generating code coverage**
ripple-lib uses `istanbul` to generate code coverage. To create a code coverage report, run `npm test --coverage`. The report will be created in `coverage/lcov-report/`.
