Solved: Is it possible to package with Chrome? about carlo

[nathfreder]

I think that I've found a solution.

1. Install chromium

npm install chromium

2. Add the executablePath option to carlo.launch([options]) and set it to chromium.path

const carlo = require('carlo');
+ const chromium = require('chromium');

(async () => {
  // Launch the browser.
  const app = await carlo.launch({
+   executablePath: chromium.path,
  });

  // Terminate Node.js process on app window closing.
  app.on('exit', () => process.exit());

  // Tell carlo where your web files are located.
  app.serveFolder(__dirname);

  // Expose 'env' function in the web environment.
  await app.exposeFunction('env', _ => process.env);

  // Navigate to the main page of your app.
  await app.load('example.html');
})();

3. Package your application

npx pkg index.js

🥳 You're done!

I was also wondering this same thing. Would love if there is a way to package with Chrome so that people that have not installed it can easily run my apps.

Keep in mind that it hasn't been properly tested, just quickly tried.
