@rivetkit/engine-cli

Platform-specific rivet-engine binary distribution. Shipped as a set of @rivetkit/engine-cli-<platform> packages. The meta package at @rivetkit/engine-cli exposes getEnginePath() which returns the absolute path to the binary for the current host.

Supported platforms

• linux-x64-musl — Linux x86_64 (static, runs on any distro)
• linux-arm64-musl — Linux aarch64 (static)
• darwin-x64 — macOS Intel
• darwin-arm64 — macOS Apple Silicon
• win32-x64 — Windows x64 on release versions only

Preview tags do not publish the Windows platform package. On preview builds, use the PowerShell installer from https://releases.rivet.dev or point RIVET_ENGINE_BINARY at a local rivet-engine.exe.

Usage

const { getEnginePath } = require("@rivetkit/engine-cli");
const { spawn } = require("node:child_process");

const child = spawn(getEnginePath(), ["start"]);
