gleescript

Bundle your Gleam-on-Erlang project into an escript, a single executable file! You may find this useful for writing command line programs and scripts in Gleam.

Usage

Add this package to your Gleam project and run gleam run -m gleescript to generate an escript.

gleam add gleescript
gleam run -m gleescript
#  Compiling your_project
#   Compiled in 0.26s
#    Running gleescript.main
#  Generated ./your_project

chmod +x ./your_project
./your_project
# Hello from your_project!

The escript can run on any computer that has the Erlang VM installed. Older versions of the virtual machine may not support the newer bytecode contained in the escript. Typically being within a couple major versions of the version used to build the escript is safe.

See the Erlang escript documentation for more information.

Have fun!
