Description

I use pm2 for a non node environment, and do not want to install node and npm, then I try to package this into a single binary with pkg tool, but fail.

As per: 4505 single binary can be build using https://getpm2.com/ but the website not available anymore. Can I get the instructions for this ?

some info:

pkg /usr/local/lib/node_modules/pm2/bin/pm2 -t node-linux-x64

pkg@4.4.0

Research direction

Start by reviewing constants.js and the bin/pm2 entry point, then reproduce the reported pkg command and its warnings. Check whether the repository documents a supported single-binary workflow; done means adding accurate packaging instructions or clearly documenting the limitation and required dependencies.
