Packer 📦

Packer is a npm module that allows you to package apps built with NodeGui or React NodeGui into a standalone executable. Packer works on Mac, Windows and Linux

This is a initial MVP release of the module.

On MacOS - Packer will output a dmg file

On Linux - Packer will output an AppImage which is something similar to a .app file in MacOS

On Windows - Packer outputs a folder containing the executable and all the dlls.

Currently if you need to produce a build you need to run the packer in different OS environments. That is, cross platform builds are not supported in this release.

Usage

How does it work ?

Packer uses Qt's packaging tools in all three platforms.

Requirements

Future enhancements:

  1. Cross platform builds.
  2. Better documentation.
  3. Reduce / Remove unnecessary dynamic libraries.
  4. Reduce qode binary size.

Please feel free to help out with this in anyway you can.
