Compile javascript with node.js. This allows you to move your executable around without needing to install the node.js runtime.

Requirements

• Linux / Mac

Caveats

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

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.
• Loads faster.

CLI Usage

	
Usage: nexe -i [sources] -o [binary]

Options:
  -i, --input    The entry javascript files         [default: cwd]
  -o, --output   The output binary                  [default: cwd/release/app.nex]
  -r, --runtime  The node.js runtime to use         [default: "0.8.15"]
  -t, --temp     The path to store node.js sources  [default: /tmp/nexe]

Code usage

var nexe = require('nexe');

nexe.compile({ input: 'input.js', output: 'path/to/bin', runtime: '0.8.15' } function() {
	
});
