ctaggart opened issue #7192:

Feature

Publish wasmtime builds to npmjs.com.

Benefit

It will make getting wasmtime installed easier in many situations. For example, component component situations.

Implementation

I think it is probably best to map directly to your existing binaries and create:

I tried it out, but with just x86_64 builds.

https://www.npmjs.com/package/@cataggar/wasmtime-cli-linux
https://www.npmjs.com/package/@cataggar/wasmtime-cli-macos
https://www.npmjs.com/package/@cataggar/wasmtime-cli-windows

To use:
npm -g i @cataggar/wasmtime-cli-linux
npm -g i @cataggar/wasmtime-cli-macos
npm -g i @cataggar/wasmtime-cli-windows

You can see how I made it with:

Thanks for the report, but could you perhaps expand more on what the benefit of this might be? I'm at least not familiar of prior art of publishing Rust crate binaries on NPM, and while I don't doubt that it's possible it naively seems to me like a mishmash of different language ecosystems. I'm likely missing something thought so I'm curious to hear more about your motivations for this.

An example would be the ability to add it an approved Azure Artifacts feed. Azure Artifacts supports npm packages. Users and automation of the approved feed then are able to easily install wasmtime binary. Automation may be an Azure Pipeline. It would be easier to automate with npm --global install @bytecodealliance/wasmtime-cli-x86_64-linux@13.0.0.
