Compile javascript **with** node.js. This allows you to move your executable around *without* needing to install the node.js runtime.
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
- Linux / Mac (windows soon)
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
Via NPM:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm install nexe
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or git:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
````text
|
|
|

-i, --input The entry javascript files [required]
|

|
|
