npm install paapi5-v2-nodejs-sdk
 
The Product Advertising API NodeJS SDK can be installed via npm:
``shell`
npm install paapi5-v2-nodejs-sdk --save
You should now be able to require('paapi5-v2-nodejs-sdk') in javascript files.
The library also works in the browser environment via npm and browserify. After following
the above steps with Node.js and installing browserify with npm install -g browserify,
perform the following (assuming main.js is your entry file, that's to say your javascript file where you actually
use this library):
`shell`
browserify main.js > bundle.js
Then include bundle.js in the HTML pages.
Using Webpack you may encounter the following error: "Module not found: Error:
Cannot resolve module", most certainly you should disable AMD loader. Add/merge
the following section to your webpack config:
`javascript`
module: {
rules: [
{
parser: {
amd: false
}
}
]
}
Please follow the installation instruction and execute the following JS code:
