## FAQ
|
|
|
|
### Q: I see a scary native binary build system in the development dependencies!
|
|
A: You're probably referring to [esbuild](https://esbuild.github.io/). If you install systemquery from npm, the build steps for the client-side javascript will already have been completed, thereby negating the need to install a native binary.
|
|
|
|
The advantage of using a build system for the client-side browser resources is significantly improved performance. With this approach, we get the benefit of a build system without needing to install a native binary on target machines which might be incompatible with the host machine's CPU architecture.
