binary-install

Install .tar.gz binary applications via npm

Usage

This library provides a single class Binary that takes the name of your binary, and download url.

let binary = new Binary("my-binary", "https://example.com/binary/tar.gz")

After your Binary has been created, you can run .install() to install the binary, and .run() to run it.

Example

This is meant to be used as a library - create your Binary with your desired options, then call .install() in the postinstall of your package.json, and .run() in the bin section of your package.json. See this example project to see how to create an npm package that installs and runs a binary using the GitHub releases API.
