# Status
# Features
This is currently pretty raw code. We're planning to clean it up,
convert everything into CommonJS modules and put a flexible build
system in place.
- [HD Wallets](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0032.mediawiki)
- Transaction creation and signing
- ECDSA signing and verification
Prototype software, use at your own peril.
# Installation
# How to use
`npm install bitcoinjs-lib`
* Run `npm run-script compile` to compile to a browser-friendly minified
file. Once in the browser, the global Bitcoin object will contain everything
you need.
* To use in NodeJS, install this package as you would any other and
put in `var Bitcoin = require('bitcoinjs-lib')`.
## Building (for browsers)
`npm run-script compile`
# Usage
## node.js
`var Bitcoin = require('bitcoinjs-lib')`
## Browser
Use the global `Bitcoin` object.
