## Command-Line Packaging ![Pake](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tw93/static/main/pake/pake1.gif) ```bash # Install Pake CLI pnpm install -g pake-cli # Basic usage, fetches the website icon automatically pake https://github.com --name GitHub # Advanced usage, custom options pake https://weekly.tw93.fun --name Weekly --icon https://cdn.tw93.fun/pake/weekly.icns --width 1200 --height 800 --hide-title-bar ``` The first build sets up the environment and takes a while, later builds are fast. See the [CLI Usage Guide](https://github.com/tw93/Pake/blob/HEAD/docs/cli-usage.md) for every option, or try [GitHub Actions Online Building](https://github.com/tw93/Pake/blob/HEAD/docs/github-actions-usage.md) if you'd rather skip the command line. Using Pake from a script or AI agent? Pass `--json` for machine-readable results, describe apps declaratively with `--config app.json` ([schema](https://github.com/tw93/Pake/blob/HEAD/schema/pake.schema.json)), and package local build output directly with `pake ./dist --name MyTool`. See [llms.txt](https://github.com/tw93/Pake/blob/HEAD/llms.txt) for the full agent contract. The official skill installs like this: ```text # Claude Code /plugin marketplace add tw93/Pake /plugin install pake@pake # Codex codex plugin marketplace add tw93/Pake codex plugin add pake@pake ``` Copy this to your AI agent to get started: ```text Use Pake (npm i -g pake-cli) to package webpages as desktop apps. Read https://unpkg.com/pake-cli@latest/llms.txt first; always run pake with --json and parse stdout as a single JSON object. Package into an app named . ``` ## Development Requires Rust `>=1.85` and Node `>=22` (recommended LTS; `>=20.9` also works), see the [Tauri documentation](https://v2.tauri.app/start/prerequisites/) for setup. If you are new to this toolchain, the CLI is the easier path. ```bash # Install dependencies pnpm i # Local development [right-click to open debug mode] pnpm run dev # Build application pnpm run build ``` For style customization, feature enhancement, container communication and other advanced features, see [Advanced Usage Documentation](https://github.com/tw93/Pake/blob/HEAD/docs/advanced-usage.md). ## Developers Pake wouldn't be possible without these incredible contributors. ❤️

## Support - The most direct way to support me is getting [Mole for Mac](https://mole.fit), my paid Mac cleanup app - If Pake helped you, give it a star, [share it](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?url=https://github.com/tw93/Pake&text=Pake%20-%20Turn%20any%20webpage%20into%20a%20desktop%20app%20with%20one%20command.%20Nearly%2020x%20smaller%20than%20Electron%20packages,%20supports%20macOS%20Windows%20Linux), or open an issue or PR, including sites that would make good desktop apps - I have two cats, TangYuan and Coke, and if Pake makes your life a little easier, feel free to treat them to canned food 🥩
