# Building Node.js with Ninja The purpose of this guide is to show how to build Node.js using [Ninja][], as doing so can be significantly quicker than using `make`. Please see [Ninja's site][Ninja] for installation instructions (Unix only). [Ninja][] is supported in the Makefile. Run `./configure --ninja` to configure the project to run the regular `make` commands with Ninja. For example, `make` will execute `ninja -C out/Release` internally to produce a compiled release binary, It will also execute `ln -fs out/Release/node node`, so that you can execute `./node` at the project's root. When running `make`, you will see output similar to the following if the build has succeeded: ```console ninja: Entering directory `out/Release` [4/4] LINK node, POSTBUILDS ``` The bottom line will change while building, showing the progress as `[finished/total]` build steps. This is useful output that `make` does not produce and is one of the benefits of using Ninja. Also, Ninja will likely compile much faster than even `make -j4` (or `-j<number of processor threads on your machine>`). You can still pass the number of processes to run for [Ninja][] using the environment variable `JOBS`. This will be the equivalent to the `-j` parameter in the regular `make`: ```bash JOBS=12 make ``` ## Producing a debug build To create a debug build rather than a release build: ```bash ./configure --ninja --debug && make ``` [Ninja]: https://ninja-build.org/
