Requirements

  • Linux / Mac

Installation

Via NPM:

	npm install nexe

Or git:

	git clone 

Motivation

  • Developing client-side utilities without requiring to install a bunch of dependencies first (node.js, npm).
  • Ability to run multiple node.js applications with different node.js runtimes.
  • Distributable packages without needing node / npm.

  -i, --input    The entry javascript files  [default: cwd]
  -o, --output   The output binary           [default: cwd/release/app.nex]
