href="https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/v18.20.8/src/node_sea.cc">src/node_sea.cc</a></p> <p>This feature allows the distribution of a Node.js application conveniently to a system that does not have Node.js installed.</p> <p>Node.js supports the creation of <a href="https://github.com/nodejs/single-executable">single executable applications</a> by allowing the injection of a JavaScript file into the <code>node</code> binary. During start up, the program checks if anything has been injected. If the script is found, it executes its contents. Otherwise Node.js operates as it normally does.</p> <p>The single executable application feature only supports running a single embedded <a href="modules.html#modules-commonjs-modules">CommonJS</a> file.</p> <p>A bundled JavaScript file can be turned into a single executable application with any tool which can inject resources into the <code>node</code> binary.</p> <p>Here are the steps for creating a single executable application using one such tool, <a href="https://github.com/nodejs/postject">postject</a>:</p> <ol> <li> <p>Create a JavaScript file:</p> <pre><code class="language-console"><span class="hljs-meta prompt_">$ </span><span class="language-bash"><span class="hljs-built_in">echo</span> <span class="hljs-string">'console.log(`Hello, ${process.argv[2]}!`);'</span> > hello.js</span></code> <button class="copy-button">copy</button></pre> </li> <li> <p>Create a copy of the <code>node</code> executable and name it according to your needs:</p> <pre><code class="language-console"><span class="hljs-meta prompt_">$ </span><span class="language-bash"><span class="hljs-built_in">cp</span> $(<span class="hljs-built_in">command</span> -v node) hello</span></code> <button class="copy-button">copy</button></pre> </li> <li> <p>Remove the signature of the binary:</p> <ul> <li>On macOS:</li> </ul> <pre><code class="language-console"><span class="hljs-meta prompt_">$ </span><span class="language-bash">codesign --remove-signature hello</span></code> <button class="copy-button">copy</button></pre> <ul> <li>On Windows (optional):</li> </ul> <p><a href="https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/seccrypto/signtool">signtool</a> can be used from the installed <a href="https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/downloads/windows-sdk/">Windows SDK</a>.
