"Building from source" instructions incomplete (require('nodegit') doesn't work) #1585

Description

@foolip

System information

  • node version: v8.11.0
  • npm or yarn version: 5.6.0
  • OS/version/architecture: gLinux (Google-internal, most similar to Debian Testing) x86_64
  • Applicable nodegit version: checked out tag v0.23.0

Following https://www.nodegit.org/guides/install/from-source/ I ran

npm install

That does a bunch of work and appears to succeed, ending with "added 577 packages in 224.055s".

However, the instructions don't list the missing steps between and having require('nodegit') work either in the nodegit checkout or some other directory. Perhaps --global has to be used, or something needs to be added to PATH?
