PKG is a command-line tool that enables you to package Node.js projects into standalone executables for various platforms like Windows, macOS, and Linux. It eliminates the need for a runtime environment to run your Node.js applications, making it easier to distribute and deploy your projects. PKG supports packaging both simple scripts and complex applications, including native modules and assets.

Compared to alternative solutions like Nexe and Enclose, PKG offers a straightforward and user-friendly approach to creating executable binaries from Node.js projects. It simplifies the packaging process and provides flexibility in configuring the output for different target platforms.
