Question

I am planning to release an app based on nodejs. Is there any dependencies that I need to add to my package other than the nodejs executable?
I already did some test on windows and it works with the executable only, but how about on unix systems?
Will it also work?
I’m sorry but I couldn’t find this information on the official documentation.

EDIT : I realise I expressed myself wrong, I am sorry about that, so here is exactly what I wanna do :

//app.js 
console.log("hello world");

//main.cpp
int main() {
    system("pathtomynode/node.exe app.js");
    return 0;
}

On windows, I create a simple.exe with main.cpp, and I put node.exe + app.js + main.exe in an msi and it works fine.

I want to do exactly the same on mac osx with a .pkg, but I want to know if the node binary will be enough, or does the node binary has any dependencies. I managed to do the test on windows beause node installs everything in one folder but I don’t know how it goes on mac so that’s what I’m asking.

Again I’m sorry about the confusion.

You have here a guide for install node.js on Ubuntu.
