ssh2 VS download-node-nightly-executable

I found a node module called ssh2. It is possible to bundle node js via browserify/webpack, however there seems to be an issue with something called the crypto module. I found a repo discussing this, but I cannot point out if there is a working solution for this problem.

This was a fun little hack I wrote in NodeJS. I used the video-to-ascii project to output the Rickroll MP4 as a series of ASCII characters (it actually outputs a nice bash script). Then I wrote a small TCP server (for telnet) in NodeJS to simply pipe the output of the video bash script right to your telnet client! To add SSH support, I used the Node ssh2 library to create a simple SSH Server that is just piped to the telnet server (basically a proxy).

npm never has to get written to or installed on your machine. download-node-nightly-executable.

WHat do you mean by "contribute"? I download only the node executable using download-node-nightly-executable to run native-messaging-nodejs, servers, or whatever else I decide to experiement on - without downloading any packages.

If you only need the node executable without npm, node_modules and the rest of the folders and files shipped in Node.js download archive you can use this https://github.com/guest271314/download-node-nightly-executable.

I use DecompressionStream() to decompress the Node.js nightly release before extracting only the node executable from the tar archive https://github.com/guest271314/download-node-nightly-executable/blob/main/index.html.

Yes. I create a file called node, touch node, set the file to executable chmod u+x node, then fetch the Node.js nightly release using this https://github.com/guest271314/download-node-nightly-executable, get rid of everything except the node executable, then run that node executable from the directory I download the file to. Then afterwards truncate the node execute to a file with 0 size, as it began as with

Node.js does not publish a release containing only the node executable. That is why I wrote this https://github.com/guest271314/download-node-nightly-executable to fetch the Node.js nightly download, extract only the node executable, and get rid of everything else in the download that never reaches my file system.

If you do not already have the node executable https://github.com/guest271314/download-node-nightly-executable.

Note: You can use node executable without using npm or npx at all download-node-nightly-executable. Create package.json including {"type":"module"} then you can import local .js files, e.g. https://github.com/guest271314/jsdom-extension/blob/main/background.js

As to that point, FWIW, it is easier to download the Deno executable than the Node.js executable, because Deno only includes the executable i the download - Node.js include npm, npx, et al. That is why I wrote https://github.com/guest271314/download-node-nightly-executable to extract only the node executable for Node.js nightly download.

FWIW I wrote this https://github.com/guest271314/download-node-nightly-executable to fetch the node nightly executable from the release folder than contains npm because I have no use for npm nor packages. I just use node executable as a Native Messaging host, which does not require any dependencies, just the javaScript runtime, where I can call process.spawn() and thus execute any local JavaScript file or other application written in any programming language.
