``` bash

**WARNING**: We presently don't provide any tooling to verify that the release on `npm` matches GitHub. As such, you should verify anything downloaded by `npm` against your own verified copy.
## Setup
### Node.js
``` javascript
var bitcoin = require('bitcoinjs-lib')
const bitcoin = require('bitcoinjs-lib')
```
