-# Blockly Headless
-
-Running Blockly headless is valuable to allow for server side code generation.
-
-The NodeJS program `app.headless.js` loads Blockly XML from `input.xml` and outputs python code on `stdout`.
-
-### Prerequisites
-Be sure to have these installed on your system:
-- NodeJS -- http://nodejs.org/
-- NPM -- (Bundled with NodeJS)
-- closure-library -- http://developers.google.com/blockly/hacking/closure
-
-## Getting Started
-1. run `npm install` in the blockly root directory(in the same location as the package.json).
-2. run `./build.py` to update the compressed files, as `build.py` **has changed**.
-3. run `node app.headless.js`
