NeedsCompilation: yes
SystemRequirements: V8 engine version 6+ is needed for modern JS and WASM support. On Debian / Ubuntu install either libv8-dev or libnode-dev, on Fedora use v8-devel. The readme has instructions for installing backports on Ubuntu Xenial and Bionic. It is still possible to build this package against the legacy libv8 version 3.14 branch, but these engines only support traditional JavaScript (ES5).
