Hi,

I'm trying to build the SpiderMonkey locally on my Linux machine.
In fact, I did install it following the instruction on the documentation.
Then, when I run 'js' command, which is a bin file generated after building the SpiderMonkey, it runs nodeJS.

Is this normal?

Please help!

Thanks.

Hi, You can find more help about SpiderMonkey by asking over on discourse: https://discourse.mozilla.org/c/spidermonkey/551

My best guess is that you need to run `./js` to run the spidermonkey binary you built. I find that some Linux configurations will search current directory while others will not. You can use `which js` command to determine what your operating system tried to use.
