@node-lightning/secp256k1

This library is heavily based on the secp256k1. The primary changes to this library are:

• remove dependency on Elliptic.js for in-browser usage
• streamlined build dependencies (see below)
• update reference to libsecp256k1

Install

To improve the security of this module (reduce dependencies and allow audibility), the native build process is performed upon installation.

The build processes uses node-gyp and its prerequisites must be available for the package to install correctly. Refer to the node-gyp installation instructions for full details for your target environment.

Note: The libsecp256k1 submodule is packaged in the package bundle (prior versions fetched code) so that git is no longer an installation requirement.

Local Build

To perform a local build of the module requires initializing the libsecp256k1 submodule:

git submodule update --init

You can then perform a standard npm install.
