+[![Gitter](https://badges.gitter.im/Join Chat.svg)](https://gitter.im/nodejs/node?utm_source=badge&utm_medium=badge&utm_campaign=pr-badge&utm_content=badge) [![CII Best Practices](https://bestpractices.coreinfrastructure.org/projects/29/badge)](https://bestpractices.coreinfrastructure.org/projects/29)
+
+Node.js is a JavaScript runtime built on Chrome's V8 JavaScript engine. Node.js
+uses an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model that makes it lightweight and
+efficient. The Node.js package ecosystem, [npm][], is the largest ecosystem of
+open source libraries in the world.
+
+The Node.js project is supported by the
+[Node.js Foundation](https://nodejs.org/en/foundation/). Contributions,
+policies and releases are managed under an
+[open governance model](./GOVERNANCE.md). We are also bound by a
+[Code of Conduct](./CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md).
+
+If you need help using or installing Node.js, please use the
+[nodejs/help](https://github.com/nodejs/help) issue tracker.

+## Resources for Newcomers
+
+### Official Resources
+
+* [Website][]
+* [Node.js Help][]
+* [Contributing to the project][]
+* IRC (node core development): [#node-dev on chat.freenode.net][]
+
+### Unofficial Resources
+
+* IRC (general questions): [#node.js on chat.freenode.net][]. Please see
+<http://nodeirc.info/> for more information regarding the `#node.js` IRC
+channel.
+
+_Please note that unofficial resources are neither managed by (nor necessarily
+endorsed by) the Node.js TSC/CTC. Specifically, such resources are not
+currently covered by the [Node.js Moderation Policy][] and the selection and
+actions of resource operators/moderators are not subject to TSC/CTC oversight._
+
+## Release Types
+
+The Node.js project maintains multiple types of releases:
+
+* **Current**: Released from active development branches of this repository,
+ versioned by [SemVer](http://semver.org/) and signed by a member of the
+ [Release Team](#release-team).
+ Code for Current releases is organized in this repository by major version
+ number, For example: [v4.x](https://github.com/nodejs/node/tree/v4.x).
+ The major version number of Current releases will increment every 6 months
+ allowing for breaking changes to be introduced. This happens in April and
+ October every year. Current release lines beginning in October each year have
+ a maximum support life of 8 months. Current release lines beginning in April
+ each year will convert to LTS (see below) after 6 months and receive further
+ support for 30 months.
+* **LTS**: Releases that receive Long-term Support, with a focus on stability
+ and security. Every second Current release line (major version) will become an
+ LTS line and receive 18 months of _Active LTS_ support and a further 12
+ months of _Maintenance_. LTS release lines are given alphabetically
+ ordered codenames, beginning with v4 Argon. LTS releases are less frequent
+ and will attempt to maintain consistent major and minor version numbers,
+ only incrementing patch version numbers. There are no breaking changes or
+ feature additions, except in some special circumstances. More information
+ can be found in the [LTS README](https://github.com/nodejs/LTS/).
+* **Nightly**: Versions of code in this repository on the current Current
+ branch, automatically built every 24-hours where changes exist. Use with
+ caution.
+
+## Download
+
+Binaries, installers, and source tarballs are available at
+<https://nodejs.org>.
+
+**Current** and **LTS** releases are available at
+<https://nodejs.org/download/release/>, listed under their version strings.
+The [latest](https://nodejs.org/download/release/latest/) directory is an
+alias for the latest Current release. The latest LTS release from an LTS
+line is available in the form: latest-_codename_. For example:
+<https://nodejs.org/download/release/latest-argon>
+
+**Nightly** builds are available at
+<https://nodejs.org/download/nightly/>, listed under their version
+string which includes their date (in UTC time) and the commit SHA at
+the HEAD of the release.
+
+**API documentation** is available in each release and nightly
+directory under _docs_. <https://nodejs.org/api/> points to the API
+documentation of the latest stable version.
+
+### Verifying Binaries
+
+Current, LTS and Nightly download directories all contain a _SHASUM256.txt_
+file that lists the SHA checksums for each file available for
+download.
+
+The _SHASUM256.txt_ can be downloaded using curl.
+
+```console
+$ curl -O https://nodejs.org/dist/vx.y.z/SHASUMS256.txt
+```
+
+To check that a downloaded file matches the checksum, run
+it through `sha256sum` with a command such as:
+
+```console
+$ grep node-vx.y.z.tar.gz SHASUMS256.txt | sha256sum -c -
+```
+
+_(Where "node-vx.y.z.tar.gz" is the name of the file you have
+downloaded)_
+
+Additionally, Current and LTS releases (not Nightlies) have GPG signed
+copies of SHASUM256.txt files available as SHASUM256.txt.asc. You can use
+`gpg` to verify that the file has not been tampered with.
+
+To verify a SHASUM256.txt.asc, you will first need to import all of
+the GPG keys of individuals authorized to create releases. They are
+listed at the bottom of this README under [Release Team](#release-team).
+Use a command such as this to import the keys:
+
+```console
+$ gpg --keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-keys DD8F2338BAE7501E3DD5AC78C273792F7D83545D
+```
+
+_(See the bottom of this README for a full script to import active
+release keys)_
+
+You can then use `gpg --verify SHASUMS256.txt.asc` to verify that the
+file has been signed by an authorized member of the Node.js team.
+
+Once verified, use the SHASUMS256.txt.asc file to get the checksum for
+the binary verification command above.
+
+## Building Node.js
+
+See [BUILDING.md](BUILDING.md) for instructions on how to build
+Node.js from source.
+
+## Security
+
+All security bugs in Node.js are taken seriously and should be reported by
+emailing security@nodejs.org. This will be delivered to a subset of the project
+team who handle security issues. Please don't disclose security bugs
+publicly until they have been handled by the security team.
+
+Your email will be acknowledged within 24 hours, and you’ll receive a more
+detailed response to your email within 48 hours indicating the next steps in
+handling your report.
+
+## Current Project Team Members
+
+The Node.js project team comprises a group of core collaborators and a sub-group
+that forms the _Core Technical Committee_ (CTC) which governs the project. For
+more information about the governance of the Node.js project, see
+[GOVERNANCE.md](./GOVERNANCE.md).
