JavaScript
==========

Installing MUSICA
-----------------

The JavaScript API is available as an npm package:

.. code-block:: bash

   npm install @ncar/musica

To build from source with WebAssembly support:

.. code-block:: bash

   git clone https://github.com/NCAR/musica.git
   cd musica
   npm install
   npm run build

.. note::

   The JavaScript API is designed specifically for use in web applications
   (particularly the MUSICA box model web app) and exposes only MICM
   gas-phase chemistry.

Verifying the installation
---------------------------

.. code-block:: javascript

   import { getVersion } from '@ncar/musica';
   console.log(getVersion());
