Bindings over pcsclite to access Smart Cards. Starting with version 0.4.0 it works in Linux, OS X and Windows.

You'll need a node version installed in the system. You have several options:

Download and install it from the node website
Install it from your own distro. For the Debian users:

apt-get install nodejs nodejs-legacy
Use nodesource repository for different distros.
Use tools like nave or nvm

In order to install the package you need to have installed in the system the pcsclite libraries. For example, in Debian/Ubuntu:

apt-get install libpcsclite1 libpcsclite-dev

Once they are installed just run:

npm install ts-pcsclite

To run any code you will also need to have installed the pcsc daemon:

apt-get install pcscd
