Nub 0.9.3 makes nubr a third name on the nub binary. The unified runner arrived in 0.9.2 as the bin of @nubjs/runner on npm; it now comes with every nub install as well, from the one-line installer to Homebrew, winget and Nix.

nubr from the installer

Invoked as nubr, the binary runs the same nubr.mjs the npm package ships, on the project's Node. When no Node is installed, the binary provisions one, so the installer is the way to get the runner with neither npm nor Node on the machine.

curl -fsSL https://nubjs.com/install.sh | bash   # macOS / Linux
irm https://nubjs.com/install.ps1 | iex           # Windows (PowerShell)

nubr app.ts        # a file
nubr build         # a package.json script
nubr vitest run    # an installed node_modules/.bin entry

The alias is created wherever nubx already was: the installers, nub upgrade, the Homebrew tap formula, the @nubjs/nub npm package, the Nix flake, and the winget manifest. Both installs run the same file, so a project behaves the same under either.

winget

Nub has been on winget as Nub.Nub since 0.1.0, bumped by community automation on each release. The README now lists winget install Nub.Nub with the other channels.

Bug fixes

PR	What changed
#941	The string form of `prefix` refuses a backslash. It is split like a POSIX shell, so a Windows path lost its separators; the error names the array form, which takes each argument as written.
