How To Install node-imurmurhash on Kali Linux

Introduction

What is node-imurmurhash

node-imurmurhash is:

This module is an incremental implementation of the MurmurHash3 (32-bit) hashing algorithm for JavaScript based on Gary Court’s implementation with kazuyukitanimura’s modifications.

This version works significantly faster than the non-incremental version if you need to hash many small strings into a single hash, since string concatenation (to build the single string to pass the non-incremental version) is fairly costly. In one case tested, using the incremental version was about 50% faster than concatenating 5-10 strings and then hashing.

Node.js is an event-based server-side JavaScript engine.
