# Prebuild tools
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The distribution of a native add-on is just as important as its implementation.
|
||
|
|
In order to install a native add-on it's important to have all the necessary
|
||
|
|
dependencies installed and well configured (see the [setup](setup.md) section).
|
||
|
|
The end-user will need to compile the add-on when they will do an `npm install`
|
||
|
|
and in some cases this could create problems. To avoid the compilation process it's
|
||
|
|
possible to ditribute the native add-on in pre-built form for different platform
|
||
|
|
and architectures. The prebuild tools help to create and distrubute the pre-built
|
||
|
|
form of a native add-on.
|
||
