+THE BASICS: NO BUILD REQUIRED.
+The basic NDN.JS library and the WebSockets proxy do not need to be "built". For the library, you can manually include the necessary scripts in a web page or include Helper.js to have it load all of the scripts.
+
+BUILD A COMBINED, COMPRESSED LIBRARY.
+A more efficient way to include the library is to used the combined, compressed library ndn-js.js that can be made using the js/tools/build/make-js.sh script. See the README in that directly. While we try to keep a built version in that directory for convenience, it may fall out of sync with the library, so we recommend building it using the script if possible.

+The script make-js.sh combines all of the NDN.JS scripts into a file called ndn-js-uncomp.js that can be more easily included in a webpage. It them runs Google's Closure Compiler to create a compressed version, ndn-js.js. This is what we recommend including in applications.
