Create an executable

Why create an executable?

By default, a Node.js program requires:

• Node.js to be installed on the target machine,
• a folder containing your .js files and your node_modules dependencies.

However, in many cases, you will want to:

• deliver a command-line tool that can be used immediately,
• distribute a small internal application,
• make deployment easier for a team that doesn't have Node.js installed.
