Evaluate Zero Install as an alternative to installing a Deno CLI tool with Dynamic Imports
tgadam opened this issue · comments
Before abandoning Deno for Node.js/Nexe, we'd like to investigate trying to make an installer using a 3rd party tool https://get.0install.net/#mac .
Related to #60
Steps:
- Create a small example Deno CLI app that uses dynamic remote import to import some code and execute it
- Bundle that CLI app
- Create an installer using Zero Install to install the bundle, Deno runtime, and a shell script.
- Test the installer on an Apple M1
- Test the installer on a Windows VM
@AndresPrez going to adapt an example to Deno that's in TypeScript and then have @christopher-lamkin try it out on his M1.
ZeroInstall was not a viable option. We'll be looking to adapt OClif scripts to Deno.
