Appendix A. Installation and tool setup

This appendix covers

  • Installing Python
  • Starting a local web server using Python
  • Checking to see if the WebAssembly media type is configured for Python and, if not, learning how to configure it
  • Downloading and installing the Emscripten SDK
  • An overview of the WebAssembly Binary Toolkit

In this appendix, you’ll install and set up all tools needed to follow along with the examples in this book. The main tool that you’ll need is Emscripten. Originally created to transpile C and C++ code into asm.js, it has since been modified to also compile code into WebAssembly modules.
