+# Node.js releases data
+
+All data is located in `data` directory.
+
+`data/raw` contains raw data `nodejs.json` and `iojs.json`.
+
+`data/processed` contains `envs.js` with both node.js and io.js data preprocessed to be used by [browserlist](https://github.com/ai/browserslist) and other projects. Each version in this file contains only necessary info: version, release date and optionally LTS flag.
+
+## Installation
+```bash
+npm install --save node-releases
+```
+
+## Updating data
+```bash
+npm run build
+```
+This is a build script which fetches data from web, processes it and saves processed data to `data/processed/envs.json`. If you want to run this steps separately you can use commands described below.
+
+
+### Fetching data
+```bash
+npm run fetch
+```
+This npm script will download new data to `data/raw` directory. Also it'll download Node.js release schedule into `release-schedule` folder.
+
+### Processing data
+```bash
+npm run process
+```
+This script generates `envs.json` file from raw data files and saves it to `data/processed` directory.
