# Welcome!
Welcome to the discord.js v10 documentation.
v10 is just a more consistent and stable iteration over v9, and contains loads of new and improved features, optimisations, and bug fixes.
## About
discord.js is a powerful node.js module that allows you to interact with the
[Discord API](https://discordapp.com/developers/docs/intro) very easily.
- Object-oriented
- Predictable abstractions
- Performant
- Nearly 100% coverage of the Discord API
## Installation
**Node.js 6.0.0 or newer is required.**
Ignore any warnings about unmet peer dependencies - all of them are optional.
Without voice support: `npm install discord.js --save`
With voice support ([node-opus](https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-opus)): `npm install discord.js node-opus --save`
With voice support ([opusscript](https://www.npmjs.com/package/opusscript)): `npm install discord.js opusscript --save`
### Audio engines
The preferred audio engine is node-opus, as it performs significantly better than opusscript. When both are available, discord.js will automatically choose node-opus.
Using opusscript is only recommended for development environments where node-opus is tough to get working.
For production bots, using node-opus should be considered a necessity, especially if they're going to be running on multiple servers.
### Optional packages
- [uws](https://www.npmjs.com/package/uws) for much a much faster WebSocket connection (`npm install uws --save`)
- [erlpack](https://github.com/hammerandchisel/erlpack) for significantly faster WebSocket data (de)serialisation (`npm install hammerandchisel/erlpack --save`)
## Web distributions
Web builds of discord.js that are fully capable of running in browsers are available [here](https://github.com/hydrabolt/discord.js/tree/webpack).
These are built by [Webpack 2](https://webpack.js.org/). The API is identical, but rather than using `require('discord.js')`,
the entire `Discord` object is available as a global (on the `window` object).
The ShardingManager and any voice-related functionality is unavailable in these builds.
