## Build and debug

#### Dependencies

AnyChart uses several third-party libraries and tools to work with JavaScript and CSS.

* [GraphicsJS](https://www.graphicsjs.org/) - High-performance SVG/VML drawing library.
* [Google Closure Library](https://github.com/google/closure-library) - powerful, low-level JavaScript library.
* [Google Closure Compiler](https://github.com/google/closure-compiler) - compiles JavaScript code to better JavaScript.
* [lesscpy](https://github.com/lesscpy/lesscpy) - Python LESS Compiler. Used to compile and minify AnyChart UI css.

#### Building options

`build.py` python script is used to work with AnyChart project. You need to install python to use it. 

To see all available options of the build script use `-h` or `--help` command:

`./build.py -h`.

To see command options use:

`./build.py  -h`

To install all dependencies use the `deps` command:

`./build.py deps`.

After running this command you can compile the project using the `compile` command:

`./build.py compile`

This compiles production version of **anychart-bundle** and **all** modules and puts them into the `out` folder. You can read more about modules in our [Modules](https://docs.anychart.com/Quick_Start/Modules) article.

To create a dev build for the debug purposes use `-d` or `--develop` option:

`./build.py compile -d`

The `-df` option generates **property renaming report**, **variable renaming report**, and **source map location mapping** files:

`./build.py compile -df`

Source map maps minified code to source code. Read more about using [source maps in Chrome](https://developers.google.com/web/tools/chrome-devtools/javascript/source-maps) or [source maps in Firefox](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Debugger/How_to/Use_a_source_map).

## Module system
