Install Emscripten

We need to compile the C/C++ files in sherpa-onnx with the help of emscripten.

Please refer to https://emscripten.org/docs/getting_started/downloads for detailed installation instructions.

The following is an example to show you how to install it on Linux/macOS.

git clone https://github.com/emscripten-core/emsdk.git
cd emsdk
git pull

# Hint: Please use a version <= 3.1.64
# Other versions, like 3.1.70, are known not to work

./emsdk install 3.1.48
./emsdk activate 3.1.48

source ./emsdk_env.sh

To check that you have installed emscripten successfully, please run:

emcc -v

The above command should print something like below:

emcc (Emscripten gcc/clang-like replacement + linker emulating GNU ld) 3.1.48 (e967e20b4727956a30592165a3c1cde5c67fa0a8)
