After installing the dependencies, simply run cake build and/or cake minify (if you want the minified, JavaScript libraries).

% cake build

% cake minify
:compileJava UP-TO-DATE
:processResources UP-TO-DATE
:classes UP-TO-DATE
:minify_levenshtein_distance
:minify_levenshtein_transducer
:minify_liblevenshtein
:minify

You should then find these JavaScript files under lib/:

4 directories, 16 files

An explanation of the major files follows (the others are intermediate in their construction):

1. levenshtein-transducer.js (levenshtein-transducer.min.js)

• Consists of the Levenshtein transducer and its direct dependencies.

2. levenshtein-distance.js (levenshtein-distance.min.js)

• Consists of the memoized, Levenshtein distance functions.

3. liblevenshtein.js (liblevenshtein.min.js)

• Consists of every file in the library.

Once you've built the library, you may wish to use the library or run its tests.
