node-pty-prebuilt-multiarch
This project is a parallel fork of node-pty
providing prebuilt packages for certain Node.js and Electron versions.
Based on oznu/node-pty-prebuilt-multiarch which was inspired by daviwil/node-pty-prebuilt.
Usage
Thanks to the excellent prebuild
and prebuild-install
modules, using this module is extremely easy. You merely have to change your node-pty
dependency to node-pty-prebuilt-multiarch
and then change any require
statements in your code from require('node-pty')
to require('node-pty-prebuilt-multiarch')
.
NOTE: We started shipping prebuilds as of node-pty version 0.8.1, no prior versions are provided! If you were using an earlier version of node-pty
you will need to update your code to account for any API changes that may have occurred.
How It Works
We maintain a parallel fork of the node-pty
codebase that will be updated as new releases are shipped. When we merge new updates to the code into the prebuilt-multiarch
branch, new prebuilt packages for our supported Node.js and Electron versions are updated to the corresponding GitHub release.
When node-pty-prebuilt-multiarch
is installed as a package dependency, the install script checks to see if there's a prebuilt package on this repo for the OS, ABI version, and architecture of the current process and then downloads it, extracting it into the module path. If a corresponding prebuilt package is not found, node-gyp
is invoked to build the package for the current platform.
