This package will download, compile, and install the WebAssembly Binary Toolkit (WABT) from https://github.com/WebAssembly/wabt as NPM global executables.

Prerequisites

• git
• cmake
• make

Installation

npm install -g @irongeek/wabt

📌 NOTE

Please give it some time to finish... 🙏

Depends on your computer specs, the installation process might take a while, and because NPM suppresses all output from custom install script (unless exception is thrown), the process might seems like it's stuck or hanging while it's actually busy compiling the binaries.
