However, since the +ambitions of the authors began to grow, more and more tools were +becoming part of the Emscripten toolset, and it became more and more +unwieldy installing all of them by hand. + +This package, emsdk, is a set of "blessed" shell scripts to do just +that in a standardised fashion. It might be compared to an Android +SDK manager, or MinGW installer. + +Activate it by sourcing /etc/profile.d/emsdk_env.sh , or run +individual commands by emsdk <command> |
