nexe/README.md

Roll node.s applications into a single executable

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

## 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. 
- Distributable packages without needing node / npm.
- Loads faster.

### CLI Usage

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

  -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"]
