+# Prebuild tools
+
+The distribution of a native add-on is just as important as its implementation.
+In order to install a native add-on it's important to have all the necessary
+dependencies installed and well configured (see the [setup](doc/setum.md) section).
+The end-user will need to compile the add-on when they will do an `npm install`
+and in some cases this could create problems. To avoid the compilation process it's
+possible to ditribute the native add-on in pre-built form for different platform
+and architectures. The prebuild tools help to create and distrubute the pre-built
+form of a native add-on.
+
+The following list report two of the tools that are compatible with **N-API**:

+- **[prebuild](https://www.npmjs.com/package/prebuild)**
