    🎉 create a single executable out of your node.js apps

  • Pkg is only one of a number of ways to do this. I also found Nexe which is also a command-line utility that compiles your Node.js application into a single executable file.

  • pkg

    Discontinued Package your Node.js project into an executable

  • The first option is to use pkg. It is a command-line interface that enables the developer to create executables from Node.JS projects; allowing you to run the app even on environments that do not have Node.JS installed on them. Use cases include being able to share your app without sharing your source code thereby equipping you to create cross-platform commercial and demo copies of your application without needing to re-code the entire application or install dependencies on the machine that runs the application.

  • SurveyJS
