Node CLI / Binary Artifacts

A friend asked if it was possible to create binaries of a node application like Deno. I figured it would be a solved-problem, but didn’t realize how easy it would be. Using Vercel’s PKG package, it just works.

Note: This repo currently does not compile or execute on M1 Macs. I haven’t bothered to investigate, but should be reasonable to resolve.

Note: ESM is not supported. A rollup build step is required to convert ESM to CJS

Repo: gregdaynes/pkg-test

# Build binaries
$ npm run build

# Run Binary
# ./pkg-test
