JavaScript is an interpreted language. You can use Zero Install to:

• Get JavaScript development tools
• Run apps that need JavaScript runtime (e.g. Node.js or Electron) as a dependency

Node.js

Node.js is a JavaScript runtime built on Chrome's V8 JavaScript engine.

To add node, npm (Node Package Manager) and npx (NPM Package Runner) to your PATH:
0install add node https://apps.0install.net/javascript/node.xml 0install add npm https://apps.0install.net/javascript/node.xml --command=npm 0install add npx https://apps.0install.net/javascript/node.xml --command=npx

To specify Node.js as the runner in a feed:
<command name="run" path="myapp.js"> <runner interface="https://apps.0install.net/javascript/node.xml"/> </command>

Electron

Electron is a framework for creating native applications with web technologies like JavaScript, HTML, and CSS.

To specify Electron as the runner in a feed:
<command name="run" path="."> <runner interface="https://apps.0install.net/javascript/electron.xml"/> </command>

NW.js

NW.js lets you call all Node.js modules directly from DOM and enables a new way of writing applications with all Web technologies.

To specify NW.js as the runner in a feed:
<command name="run" path="."> <runner interface="https://apps.0install.net/javascript/nwjs.xml"/> </command>
