This should give a short introduction to integrating your module in different environments: as a `node.js` module, and as an extension for an embedded Webkit.
### Creating `node.js` Extensions
To install `node.js` you can download an installer from their

or stick to the (probably stone-age) packaged version.
For Ubuntu there is a [PPA](https://launchpad.net/~chris-lea/+archive/node.js/) available.
