Node.js is a server-side software system designed for writing scalable Internet applications, notably web servers.
It is build on built on Chrome's JavaScript runtime.
Programs are written on the server side in JavaScript, using event-driven, asynchronous I/O to minimize overhead
and maximize scalability.
Node.js contains a built-in HTTP server library, making it possible to run a web server without the use of external software,
such as Apache or Lighttpd, and allowing more control of how the web server works. Node.js enables web developers to
create an entire web application in JavaScript, both server-side and client-side.
The latest Node.js version can be downloaded from:
http://nodejs.org
Even numbered versions (0.4, 0.6, 0.8) are stable, and odd numbered versions (0.3, 0.5) are unstable.
The stable releases are API-stable, which means that if you are using 0.8.1 and 0.8.2 comes out, you should be able to upgrade with no issues.

- In the following example "bitcoinjs/bip39" will be browserified.
Goto https://github.com/bitcoinjs/bip39
and download a release version, for example: v2.4.0.
Unzip to folder ~/bip39-2.4.0.
- Type: cd ~/bip39-2.4.0
- Type: npm install
This will install all node modules locally as specified in the package.json file.
- Type: browserify -s bip39 index.js | uglifyjs > bip39.min.js
This will create the bip39.min.js file using the index.js file as input.
