We have a migration tool to migrate the customers data between different applications. I am looking for ideas to make it very easy for the customer to use this tool. Right now they invoke shell scripts with some options and get the data dump, but I want to make this even more easier for the end customer. Tool is written in nodejs

pkg could be what you're looking for.

From the package description:

This command line interface enables you to package your Node.js project into an executable that can be run even on devices without Node.js installed.

Use Cases

  • Make a commercial version of your application without sources
  • Make a demo/evaluation/trial version of your app without sources
  • Instantly make executables for other platforms
  • (cross-compilation) Make some kind of self-extracting archive or
    • installer No need to install Node.js and npm to run the packaged application No need to download hundreds of files via npm install to deploy your application. Deploy it as a single file Put your assets inside the executable to make it even more portable Test your app against new Node.js version without installing it

  • Thanks but the caveat is that the user still should be able to supply arguments similar to the command line arguments through this tool. – wow man Dec 07 '18 at 05:15
  • @wowman are you looking for a command line tool? may be you can use this to create executable, but have a way of providing interactive configuration when the tool runs for the first time – SanSolo Dec 07 '18 at 05:18
  • I am looking for tool similar to command line tool. Thanks I will look into it and see ways to provide configuration to the tool – wow man Dec 07 '18 at 05:56
