Getting Started

To setup a project simply install runtimejs package as a dependency. It doesn't need to be require()-d anywhere, just make sure it exists in node_modules.

mkdir project
cd project
npm install runtimejs
echo "console.log('ok')" > index.js

Run project in QEMU VM:

runtime start

Or let it watch directory for changes and restart QEMU automatically:

runtime watch

Commands

start, watch and run commands are very similar and have pretty much the same list of arguments. They all launch runtime.js in the QEMU VM.

USAGE: runtime start [<args>]
(Quickly start runtime.js VM using current directory)

Arguments:
  --net         Enable network (value can be "none", "user", "tap" or
                "bridge", defaults to "user")
  --netdump     Save network activity to a file
  --kvm         Enable Linux KVM (much faster virtualization)
  --curses      Use text-mode graphics
  --port        Redirect TCP/UDP connections on the host port to the runtime.js
  --append      Append string to runtime.js command line
  --dry-run     Test input but do not launch the VM
  --verbose     Output extra info like VM command line
  --virtio-rng  Enable VIRTIO-RNG entropy source for the runtime.js
  --nographic   Disable graphics, run in command line mode
  --kernel      Specify custom kernel binary file to use
  --local       Download the kernel locally (i.e. in the module's directory)

pack packages directory into ramdisk/initrd bundle. This is useful if you'd like to ship compiled bundle somewhere and don't want to run it locally.

USAGE: runtime pack [<args>] <directory>
(Package specified directory into ramdisk bundle)

  <directory>   Directory to package

Arguments:
  --list-files  List packaged files only
  --ignore      Add file ignore pattern
  --entry       Set entry point import/require string (defaults to "/")
  --add-dir     Add a directory into the package (format: <path> or <path>:<package-path>)

mkimg creates a FAT disk image for use with runtime.js. On some systems, you may need to use root/administrator privileges. Depends on qemu-img on all platforms, hdiutil and diskutil on macOS (builtin), losetup and mkfs.msdos on Linux (included on most distributions), and diskpart on Windows (bulitin).

USAGE: runtime mkimg [<args>] <filename>
(Easily create a disk image for use with runtime.js)

  <filename>    The filename for the newly created disk image including the extension,
                default to "disk.img"

Arguments:
  --size        Size of the new image, defaults to 1 gigabyte. See `qemu-img --help` for sizes.
                Must be >= 33792 kb (~33 mb)
  --label       Label of the new image, defaults to "RUNTIMEJS"

Completion

Enables tab-completion for all commands.

runtime completion >> ~/.bashrc
runtime completion >> ~/.zshrc
