5 This repository began as a GitHub fork of
6 [joyent/node](https://github.com/joyent/node).
7
8 io.js contributions, releases, and contributorship are under an
9 [open governance model](./GOVERNANCE.md).
10 We intend to land, with increasing regularity, releases which are
11 compatible with the npm ecosystem that has been built to date for Node.js.
12
13 ## Is it io.js or IO.js or iojs or IOjs or iOjS?
14
15 The official name is **io.js**, which should never be capitalized,
16 especially not at the start of a sentence, unless it is being
17 displayed in a location that is customarily all-caps (such as
18 the title of man pages).

86
87 ### `Intl` (ECMA-402) support:
88
89 [Intl](https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Intl) support is not
90 enabled by default.
91
92 #### "small" (English only) support
93
94 This option will build with "small" (English only) support, but
95 the full `Intl` (ECMA-402) APIs.  With `--download=all` it will
96 download the ICU library as needed.
97
98 Unix / Macintosh:
99
100 ```text
101 $ ./configure --with-intl=small-icu --download=all
102 ```
103
104 Windows:
105
106 ```text
107 > vcbuild small-icu download-all
108 ```
109
110 The `small-icu` mode builds with English-only data. You can add full
111 data at runtime.
112
113 *Note:* more docs are on
114 [the joyent/node wiki](https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Intl).
115
116 #### Build with full ICU support (all locales supported by ICU):
117
118 With the `--download=all`, this may download ICU if you don't have an
119 ICU in `deps/icu`.
120
121 Unix / Macintosh:
122
123 ```text
124 $ ./configure --with-intl=full-icu --download=all
125 ```
126
127 Windows:
128
129 ```text
130 > vcbuild full-icu download-all
131 ```
132
133 #### Build with no Intl support `:-(`
134
135 The `Intl` object will not be available. This is the default at
136 present, so this option is not normally needed.
137
138 Unix / Macintosh:
139
140 ```text
141 $ ./configure --with-intl=none
142 ```
143
144 Windows:
145
146 ```text
147 > vcbuild intl-none
148 ```
149
150 #### Use existing installed ICU (Unix / Macintosh only):
151
152 ```text
153 $ pkg-config --modversion icu-i18n && ./configure --with-intl=system-icu
154 ```
155
156 #### Build with a specific ICU:
157
158 You can find other ICU releases at
159 [the ICU homepage](http://icu-project.org/download).
160 Download the file named something like `icu4c-**##.#**-src.tgz` (or
161 `.zip`).
162
163 Unix / Macintosh
164
165 ```text
166 # from an already-unpacked ICU:
167 $ ./configure --with-intl=[small-icu,full-icu] --with-icu-source=/path/to/icu
168
169 # from a local ICU tarball
170 $ ./configure --with-intl=[small-icu,full-icu] --with-icu-source=/path/to/icu.tgz
171
172 # from a tarball URL
173 $ ./configure --with-intl=full-icu --with-icu-source=http://url/to/icu.tgz
174 ```
175
176 Windows
177
178 First unpack latest ICU to `deps/icu`
179 [icu4c-**##.#**-src.tgz](http://icu-project.org/download) (or `.zip`)
180 as `deps/icu` (You'll have: `deps/icu/source/...`)
181
