Simple step by step to build a node 18.15.0 executable

[bycym]

Hello there,

Could somebody help me out? I couldn't find any solution on how I could build a version that was released in the pkg-fetch's release page.

So I tried the 18.15.0 and the 19.8.1 as well, but for example I'll show my steps for node 19.
What I tried:

My package.json's pkg part:

{
    ...
    "bin": "dist/entry.js",
    "pkg": {
        "scripts": "./dist/**/*.js",
        "assets": [
            "./node_modules/**/*",
            "./dist/**/*"
        ],
        "targets": [
            "node19-win-x64",
            "node19-macos-x64",
            "node19-linux-x64"
        ]
    }
}

1. get the executable with pkg-fetch

   PKG_IGNORE_TAG=1 node_modules/.bin/pkg-fetch --node-range node19 --output dist/ 

2. then use the pre-builded executable, that's what I don't get to work:

   PKG_IGNORE_TAG=1 PKG_CACHE_PATH=./dist node_modules/.bin/pkg --output release --public dist/entry.js -t node19.8.1-linux-x64

What am I doing wrong?

Tons of thanks for your help. 🙇

only lts versions are supported, use 18 or 20

Thank you for the quick answer, how can I do it for 18.15.0 or 20?

[robertsLando]

Just put 18/20 where you places 19 in targets

I cannot be enough thankful for your package. I forgot to update your package instead of the old vercel. It works as it should. Have a great day my hero!
