Command-Line Packaging

# 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 for every option, or try GitHub Actions Online Building 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), and package local build output directly with pake ./dist --name MyTool. See llms.txt for the full agent contract. The official skill installs like this:

# 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:

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 <url-or-local-dist> into an app named <AppName>.

Development

Requires Rust >=1.85 and Node >=22 (recommended LTS; >=20.9 also works), see the Tauri documentation for setup. If you are new to this toolchain, the CLI is the easier path.

# 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.
