Warp

Warp lets you create self-contained single binary applications making it simpler and more ergonomic to deliver your application to your customers. A self-contained binary is specially convenient when the technology you use, such as .NET Core, Java and others, contain many dependencies that must be shipped alongside your application.

Warp is supported on Linux, Windows and macOS.

Quickstart with .NET Core

Linux

Create a simple console application

dgiagio@X1:~/Devel$ mkdir myapp
dgiagio@X1:~/Devel$ cd myapp
dgiagio@X1:~/Devel/myapp$ dotnet new console
dgiagio@X1:~/Devel/myapp$ dotnet run
Hello World!
dgiagio@X1:~/Devel/myapp$

Publish the application with native installer for linux-x64 runtime

dgiagio@X1:~/Devel/myapp$ dotnet publish -c Release -r linux-x64

The application should be published to bin/Release/netcoreapp2.1/linux-x64/publish/

Download warp-packer

If you save warp-packer in a directory in your PATH, you only need to download it once.

dgiagio@X1:~/Devel/myapp$ curl -Lo warp-packer https://github.com/dgiagio/warp/releases/download/v0.1.0/linux-x64.warp-packer
dgiagio@X1:~/Devel/myapp$ chmod +x warp-packer

Create your self-contained application

dgiagio@X1:~/Devel/myapp$ ./warp-packer --arch linux-x64 --input_dir bin/Release/netcoreapp2.1/linux-x64/publish --exec myapp --output myapp
dgiagio@X1:~/Devel/myapp$ chmod +x myapp

Run your self-contained application

dgiagio@X1:~/Devel/myapp$ ./myapp
Hello World!
dgiagio@X1:~/Devel/myapp$

More information about your self-contained application

dgiagio@X1:~/Devel/myapp$ file myapp
myapp: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (GNU/Linux), statically linked, BuildID[sha1]=13b12e71a63ca1de8537ad7e90c83241f9f87f6c, with debug_info, not stripped

dgiagio@X1:~/Devel/myapp$ du -hs myapp
34M     myapp

macOS

Create a simple console application

Diegos-iMac:Devel dgiagio$ mkdir myapp
Diegos-iMac:Devel dgiagio$ cd myapp
Diegos-iMac:myapp dgiagio$ dotnet new console
Diegos-iMac:myapp dgiagio$ dotnet run
Hello World!
Diegos-iMac:myapp dgiagio$

Publish the application with native installer for osx-x64 runtime

Diegos-iMac:myapp dgiagio$ dotnet publish -c Release -r osx-x64

The application should be published to bin/Release/netcoreapp2.1/osx-x64/publish/

Download warp-packer

If you save warp-packer in a directory in your PATH, you only need to download it once.

Diegos-iMac:myapp dgiagio$ curl -Lo warp-packer https://github.com/dgiagio/warp/releases/download/v0.1.0/macos-x64.warp-packer
Diegos-iMac:myapp dgiagio$ chmod +x warp-packer

Create your self-contained application

Diegos-iMac:myapp dgiagio$ ./warp-packer --arch macos-x64 --input_dir bin/Release/netcoreapp2.1/osx-x64/publish --exec myapp --output myapp
Diegos-iMac:myapp dgiagio$ chmod +x myapp

Run your self-contained application

Diegos-iMac:myapp dgiagio$ ./myapp
Hello World!
Diegos-iMac:myapp dgiagio$

More information about your self-contained application

Diegos-iMac:myapp dgiagio$ file myapp
myapp: Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64

Diegos-iMac:myapp dgiagio$ du -hs myapp
 27M    myapp

Windows

Create a simple console application

PS C:\Users\Diego\Devel> mkdir myapp
PS C:\Users\Diego\Devel> cd myapp
PS C:\Users\Diego\Devel\myapp> dotnet new console
PS C:\Users\Diego\Devel\myapp> dotnet run
Hello World!
PS C:\Users\Diego\Devel\myapp>

Publish the application with native installer for win10-x64 runtime

PS C:\Users\Diego\Devel\myapp> dotnet publish -c Release -r win10-x64

The application should be published to bin/Release/netcoreapp2.1/win10-x64/publish/

Download warp-packer

If you save warp-packer in a directory in your PATH, you only need to download it once.

PS C:\Users\Diego\Devel\myapp> [Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = "tls12, tls11, tls" ; Invoke-WebRequest https://github.com/dgiagio/warp/releases/download/v0.1.0/windows-x64.warp-packer.exe -OutFile warp-packer.exe

Create your self-contained application

PS C:\Users\Diego\Devel\myapp> .\warp-packer --arch windows-x64 --input_dir bin/Release/netcoreapp2.1/win10-x64/publish --exec myapp.exe --output myapp.exe

Run your self-contained application

PS C:\Users\Diego\Devel\myapp> .\myapp.exe
Hello World!
PS C:\Users\Diego\Devel\myapp>
