The native Node modules are supported by atom-shell, but since atom-shell is
using a different V8 version from official Node, you need to use apm instead
of npm to install Node modules.

atom-shell支持原生的Node模块，但是因为atom-shell使用的v8版本和官方Node使用的不一样，你需要使用apm来代替npm来安装Node模块。

The usage of apm is quite similar to npm, to
install dependencies from package.json of current project, just do:

apm的用法和npm十分类似。从当前工程的package.json安装只需要运行：

$ cd /path/to/atom-shell/project/
$ apm install .

But you should notice that apm install module won’t work because it will
install a user package for Atom Editor instead.

但是你需要注意apm install module 不会工作，因为它将会为Atom Editor安装一个用户包。

Native Node module compatibility

兼容原生Node模块

Since Node v0.11.x there were vital changes in the V8 API. So generally all native
modules written for Node v0.10.x wouldn’t work for Node v0.11.x. Additionally
since atom-shell internally uses Node v0.11.9, it carries with the same problem.

从Node v0.11.x开始V8的api有重大改变，所以几乎所有的Node v0.10.x的原生模块在v0.11.x中都不工作。因为atom-shell是基于Node v0.11.9，所以它也有同样的问题。

To solve this, you should use modules that support both Node v0.10.x and v0.11.x. Many modules do support both now.
For old modules that only support Node v0.10.x, you should use the nan module to port it to v0.11.x.

为了解决这个问题，你应该使用同时支持v0.10.x和v0.11.x的版本 很多模块都支持这两者
一些只支持Node v0.10.x的老的模块，你可以使用nan把它升级到v0.11.x。

Other ways of installing native modules

## 另一种安装原生模块的方法

Apart from apm, you can also use node-gyp and npm to manually build the
native modules.

和apm不同的，你还可以使用node-gyp和npm来手动编译原生模块。

The node-gyp way

node-gyp方式

First you need to check which Node release atom-shell is carrying via process.version (at the time of writing it is v0.10.5). Then you can
configure and build native modules via following commands:

首先通过process.version来确定atom-shell支持的哪个Node版本，然后你可以通过下面的命令来配置编译原生模块。

$ cd /path-to-module/
$ HOME=~/.atom-shell-gyp node-gyp rebuild --target=0.10.5 --arch=ia32 --dist-url=https://gh-contractor-zcbenz.s3.amazonaws.com/atom-shell/dist

The HOME=~/.atom-shell-gyp changes where to find development headers. The --target=0.10.5 is specifying Node’s version. The --dist-url=... specifies
where to download the headers.

HOME=~/.atom-shell-gyp 来修改从那里找到开发头。--target=0.10.5指定Node的版本。--dist-url=...指定从那里下载头。

The npm way

npm的方式。

export npm_config_disturl=https://gh-contractor-zcbenz.s3.amazonaws.com/atom-shell/dist
export npm_config_target=0.10.5
export npm_config_arch=ia32
HOME=~/.atom-shell-gyp npm install module-name
