A simple CLI/API tool to package and deploy prebuilt versions of node_modules packages to bypass gcc node-gyp issues. This is another level up from node-pre-gyp, if one of your target node_modules does not precompile, you can use this to bundle versions of that entire library.

Now rewrites package.json of target package to ensure it will not run node-gyp on future installs after it is deployed.

Install (For npm script or API usage)

npm i -D prebuilt

Install (global)

npm i -g prebuilt

Usage

CLI / NPM scripts

Pack an installed (and built) package from a VM:

prebuilt --pack package_name

# shorthand
prebuilt -p package_name

Install prebuilt packages on a machine, node version, platform and bitness will be handled automatically:

prebuilt --install package_name

# shorthand
prebuilt -i package_name

API

import { pack, install } from 'prebuilt'
import util from 'util'

const printResult = x => console.log(util.inspect(x))
const printError = err => console.error(err)

/** Pack an installed package for later distribution */
pack('package_name')
  .then(printResult)
  .catch(printError)

/** Install a prebuilt packed package */
install('package_name')
  .then(printResult)
  .catch(printError)
