npm login
npm publish --access public

npm i -g @hekbobo/hello-cli
hello

If npm install says Not Found

• Confirm you are installing the exact package name: @hekbobo/hello-cli (scoped packages must include the @scope/ prefix).
• Confirm your npm registry points at the official npm registry:

npm config get registry

If it is not https://registry.npmjs.org/, either switch it back or install with an explicit registry:

npm i -g @hekbobo/hello-cli --registry=https://registry.npmjs.org/

Build executables (multi-platform)

This project uses Node.js. To produce a single-file executable for different platforms, you can use pkg.

Install packager

npm i -D pkg

Build for multiple targets

Build Windows + macOS + Linux (x64):

npx pkg -t node18-win-x64,node18-macos-x64,node18-linux-x64 -o dist/hello .

Build Windows (x64 + arm64):

npx pkg -t node18-win-x64,node18-win-arm64 -o dist/hello .

Common targets

• Windows: node18-win-x64, node18-win-arm64
• macOS: node18-macos-x64, node18-macos-arm64
• Linux: node18-linux-x64, node18-linux-arm64

Notes

• Cross-building is not always reliable for every target (especially macOS). For best results, build macOS binaries on a macOS machine/CI runner.
• If you add extra runtime files (templates/config/etc.), you may need to configure pkg assets in package.json.
