Install (Windows · Linux)

When using only the distribution, install via npm and use the CLI with npx. No source clone required.

Distribution = npm package

DeukPack is distributed via npm. Use npm install deukpack in your project root and run commands as npx deukpack …. npm deukpack is not valid — the binary lives in node_modules/.bin.

Node.js 18+ recommended (16+ may work).

Common

npm install deukpack
npx deukpack init
npx deukpack run

One-shot codegen without a pipeline file:

npx deukpack ./schema.deuk ./out --csharp --cpp

Global install (npm i -g deukpack) is not the documented default; prefer a local dependency and npx.

Windows

Install Node.js

  • Download LTS from nodejs.org — check "Add to PATH".
  • Or winget: winget install OpenJS.NodeJS.LTS
  • Or Chocolatey: choco install nodejs-lts

Open a new terminal and run node -v, npm -v.

Use CLI

npm install deukpack
npx deukpack init
npx deukpack .\schema.deuk .\out -I .\idl --csharp --cpp

Install from .tgz (Release / Artifact)

  • Download deukpack-x.y.z.tgz from GitHub Releases.
  • Or Actions → run on main → Artifacts → deukpack-npm-tarball-<sha>.
npm install .\Downloads\deukpack-x.y.z.tgz
npx deukpack init

Linux

Install Node.js

  • Ubuntu/Debian: sudo apt update && sudo apt install nodejs npm
  • Fedora: sudo dnf install nodejs npm
  • nvm: curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.40.1/install.sh | bash → nvm install --lts

Check node -v, npm -v.

Use CLI

npm install deukpack
npx deukpack init
npx deukpack ./idl/root.deuk ./out -I ./idl --csharp --cpp
