prerequisites

install node on dev machine

google it

install nodemon

npm install nodemon -g

install pm2 -- if you need a good proccess manager

npm install pm2 -g

install pkg if you need to build single file executables

npm install pkg -g

build

cwd to directory with code

install all node_modules

npm install

build executable

pkg .

running

run executable

hl7viewer.exe

using node

node app-hl7.js

using nodemon - this will watch any changes to files and restart

nodemon app-hl7.js

using pm2 this is the prefered way on production server

it will demonize the app and keep it running forever with monitoring

also it will configure startup scripts to restart app after server-restart

pm2 start hl7viewer.exe
or
pm2 start app-hl7.js

          }
