|
Installation and Usage
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
You can run JSDoc on either Node.js or Mozilla Rhino.
|
|
|
|
### Node.js
|
|
|
|
Native support for Node.js is available in JSDoc 3.3.0 and later. JSDoc
|
|
supports Node.js 0.10 and later.
|
|
|
|
#### Installing JSDoc for Node.js
|
|
|
|
You can install JSDoc in your project's `node_modules` folder, or you can
|
|
install it globally.
|
|
|
|
To install the latest alpha version:
|
|
|
|
npm install jsdoc@"<=3.3.0"
|
|
|
|
To install the latest development version:
|
|
|
|
npm install git+https://github.com/jsdoc3/jsdoc.git
|
|
|
|
**Note**: If you install JSDoc globally, do not use `sudo npm install`. This may
|
|
prevent you from running JSDoc as a normal user. If you cannot install global
|
|
packages without `sudo`, please
|
|
[fix your npm directory permissions](http://howtonode.org/introduction-to-npm).
|
|
|
|
#### Running JSDoc with Node.js
|
|
|
|
If you installed JSDoc locally, the JSDoc command-line tool is available in
|
|
`./node_modules/.bin`. To generate documentation for the file
|
|
`yourJavaScriptFile.js`:
|
|
|
|
./node_modules/.bin/jsdoc yourJavaScriptFile.js
|
|
|
|
Or if you installed JSDoc globally, simply run the `jsdoc` command:
|
|
|
|
jsdoc yourJavaScriptFile.js
|
|
|
|
By default, the generated documentation is saved in a directory named `out`. You
|
|
can use the `--destination` (`-d`) option to specify another directory.
|
|
|
|
Run `jsdoc --help` for a complete list of command-line options.
|
|
|
|
### Mozilla Rhino
|
|
|
|
All versions of JSDoc 3 run on a customized version of Mozilla Rhino, which
|
|
requires Java. You can run JSDoc 3 on Java 1.6 and later.
|
|
|
|
#### Installing JSDoc for Mozilla Rhino
|
|
|
|
To install JSDoc, download a .zip file for the
|
|
[latest development version](https://github.com/jsdoc3/jsdoc/archive/master.zip)
|
|
or a [previous release](https://github.com/jsdoc3/jsdoc/tags).
|
|
|
|
You can also use git to clone the
|
|
[JSDoc repository](https://github.com/jsdoc3/jsdoc):
|
|
|
|
git clone git+https://github.com/jsdoc3/jsdoc.git
|
|
|
|
The JSDoc repository includes a
|
|
[customized version of Mozilla Rhino](https://github.com/jsdoc3/rhino). Make
|
|
sure your Java classpath does not include any other versions of Rhino. (On OS X,
|
|
you may need to remove the file `~/Library/Java/Extensions/js.jar`.)
|
|
|
|
**Note**: In JSDoc 3.3.0 and later, if you need to run JSDoc on Mozilla Rhino,
|
|
do not install JSDoc with npm. Use one of the methods described above.
|
|
|
|
#### Running JSDoc with Mozilla Rhino
|
|
|
|
On OS X, Linux, and other POSIX systems, to generate documentation for the file
|
|
`yourJavaScriptFile.js`:
|
|
|
|
./jsdoc yourJavaScriptFile.js
|
|
|
|
Or on Windows:
|
|
|
|
jsdoc yourJavaScriptFile.js
|
|
|
|
By default, the generated documentation is saved in a directory named `out`. You
|
|
can use the `--destination` (`-d`) option to specify another directory.
|
|
|
|
Run `jsdoc --help` for a complete list of command-line options.
|
|
|
|
|
|
