# Setup
## Prerequisites
Before starting to use **N-API** you need to assure you have the following
prerequisites:
* **Node.JS** see: [Installing Node.js](https://nodejs.org/)
* **Node.js native addon build tool**
- **[node-gyp](node-gyp.md)**
## Installation and usage
To use **N-API** in a native module:
1. Add a dependency on this package to `package.json`:
```json
"dependencies": {
"node-addon-api": "*",
}
```
2. Reference this package's include directory and gyp file in `binding.gyp`:
```gyp
'include_dirs': ["<!@(node -p \"require('node-addon-api').include\")"],
'dependencies': ["<!(node -p \"require('node-addon-api').gyp\")"],
```
3. Decide whether the package will enable C++ exceptions in the N-API wrapper.
The base ABI-stable C APIs do not throw or handle C++ exceptions, but the
N-API C++ wrapper classes may _optionally_
[integrate C++ and JavaScript exception-handling
](https://nodejs.github.io/node-addon-api/class_napi_1_1_error.html).
To enable that capability, C++ exceptions must be enabled in `binding.gyp`:
```gyp
'cflags!': [ '-fno-exceptions' ],
'cflags_cc!': [ '-fno-exceptions' ],
'xcode_settings': {
'GCC_ENABLE_CPP_EXCEPTIONS': 'YES',
'CLANG_CXX_LIBRARY': 'libc++',
'MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET': '10.7',
},
'msvs_settings': {
'VCCLCompilerTool': { 'ExceptionHandling': 1 },
},
```
Alternatively, disable use of C++ exceptions in N-API:
```gyp
'defines': [ 'NAPI_DISABLE_CPP_EXCEPTIONS' ],
```
4. If you would like your native addon to support OSX, please also add the
following settings in the `binding.gyp` file:
```gyp
['OS=="mac"', {
'cflags+': ['-fvisibility=hidden'],
'xcode_settings': {
'GCC_SYMBOLS_PRIVATE_EXTERN': 'YES', # -fvisibility=hidden
}
}]
```
5. Include `napi.h` in the native module code.
To ensure only ABI-stable APIs are used, DO NOT include
`node.h`, `nan.h`, or `v8.h`.
```C++
#include "napi.h"
```
At build time, the N-API back-compat library code will be used only when the
targeted node version *does not* have N-API built-in.
The preprocessor directive `NODE_ADDON_API_DISABLE_DEPRECATED` can be defined at
compile time before including `napi.h` to skip the definition of deprecated APIs.
