#### Nexe is a command-line utility that compiles your Node.js application into a single executable file.

### Motivation

- Ability to run multiple applications with *different* node.js runtimes. 
- Distributable binaries without needing node / npm.
- Starts faster.
- Lockdown specific application versions, and easily rollback.
- Faster deployments.

## Requirements

- Linux / Mac

## Caveats

- Doesn't support native modules (yet).
- Doesn't support windows (yet).

## Installation

Via NPM:

```bash
	npm install nexe [-g]
```

Or git:

```bash
	git clone 
```

### CLI Usage
