Once we install jx core we can also use it to launch the project.<\/p>\n<h3>What is JX core?<\/h3>\n<p>It is open source and has the functionalities for encrypting the source file and packaging the source file.<\/p>\n<p>If you have a large project with tons of files then sharing it will become cumbersome. So what jx core does is that it will take your entire project and convert it into a single file.<\/p>\n<h3>Installing JX core:<\/h3>\n<p>It is easy to install jx core. Follow the below steps to install it successfully.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step-1<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We will be <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/jxcore\/jxcore\">installing a 64 bit jx core package<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The syntax is as follows:<\/p>\n<p>wget https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/nodejx\/jx_rh64.zip<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step-2<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Next step is to unzip the downloaded file and copy the path in \/usr\/bin<\/p>\n<p>Follow the below commands to unzip the file.<\/p>\n<p>unzip jx_rh64.zip<\/p>\n<p>cp jx_rh64\/jx \/usr\/bin<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step-3<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Next step is to set our path variable so that we can use it from anywhere<\/p>\n<p>export PATH=$PATH:\/usr\/bin<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step -4<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In order to verify the installation and see the version number run the below command:<\/p>\n<p>jx &#8211;version<\/p>\n<h3>Package the code:<\/h3>\n<p>In order to create a package go to the project directory and run the below command.<\/p>\n<p><strong>jx package index.js index<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The above command will create this two files<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Index.jxp: It is an intermediate file containing the project detail needed to compile the project.<\/li>\n<li>index.jx: It is the binary file containing the complete package that will be sent to other machines.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Launch the jx file:<\/h3>\n<p>To launch the file, run the below command.<\/p>\n<p><strong>jx index.jx command_line_arguments.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Packaging a node js application using the pkg module:<\/h3>\n<p>In this section, we will discuss how you can package your application using the pkg module. We will look into how you can install the pkg module and its use.<\/p>\n<h3>PKG:<\/h3>\n<p>It is a cli that helps us create an exe file for our nodejs application. It will make your application run on devices that do not have node js installed.<\/p>\n<h3>Installing PKG:<\/h3>\n<p>To install the pkg package run the below module:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Npm install -g pkg<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Creating the executable files:<\/h3>\n<p>I am considering that the entry point of your nodejs application is index.js. So now for creating the executable files run the below command.<\/p>\n<p>pkg index.js<\/p>\n<p>The above command will generate three files one each for linux, macos and windows<\/p>\n<p>Now you can use these three files in their respective devices.<\/p>\n<h3>Summary:<\/h3>\n<p>In this blog, we have thoroughly discussed the steps required to package a nodejs application.
