Createindex.html:
<!DOCTYPE html><html><head><title>Hello World!</title></head><body><h1>Hello World!</h1> We are using node.js<script>document.write(process.version)</script>.</body></html>
Createpackage.json:
{"name":"nw-demo","main":"index.html"}Run:
$ /path/to/nw. (suppose the current directory contains'package.json')
Note: on Windows, you can drag the folder containingpackage.json tonw.exe to open it.
Note: on OSX, the executable binary is in a hidden directory within the .app file. To run node-webkit on OSX, type:
$ /path/to/node-webkit.app/Contents/MacOS/node-webkit. (suppose the current directory contains'package.json')
