@vscode/ripgrep-universal

A single npm package bundling ripgrep binaries for every supported platform.

Use this package instead of @vscode/ripgrep when you need every platform's binary available from a single install — for example, when repackaging a Node application into cross-platform artifacts (VSIX, archives, installers) from one build host.

The tarball is large (~60 MB) because it ships 12 binaries. For normal application use, prefer @vscode/ripgrep, which installs only the binary for the current platform via optionalDependencies.

Usage

import { rgPath, binPathFor } from '@vscode/ripgrep-universal';

// Path to the binary for the current platform/arch.
console.log(rgPath);

// Path to any platform's binary (useful for cross-platform packaging).
const winPath = binPathFor({ os: 'win32', arch: 'x64' });
const linuxArmPath = binPathFor({ os: 'linux', arch: 'arm64' });

Layout

Binaries are placed under bin/<os>-<arch>/<rg|rg.exe>.
