...This SDK is built on the AWS Common Runtime, a collection of libraries (aws-c-common, aws-c-io, aws-c-mqtt, aws-c-http, aws-c-cal ...) written in C to be cross-platform, high-performance, secure, and reliable. The libraries are bound to JS by the awscrt package. You will need to install NodeJS in orderto run the SDK on Windows, MacOS, and Linux. You can find installers for NodeJS on the NodeJS website's download page. To build the SDK, you will need a compiler that can compile C++ 11 code or higher. C++ compilers vary based on platform. You will also need CMake to build the SDK. The minimum required version is CMake 3.1. There are several ways to install CMake depending on the Linux operating system.
