@dirigiblelabs/dirigible
This package provides a direct distribution channel for the
official Eclipse Dirigible standalone executable JAR file
via the npm registry under the @dirigiblelabs organization scope.
It enables developers and CI/CD systems to retrieve Dirigible directly from npm,
while automatically downloading the correct JAR version during installation.
⚙️ How It Works
When you install the package, a small postinstall script runs automatically and:
- Determines the package version (
package.json → version). - Downloads the corresponding Dirigible executable JAR
- Saves it as:
@dirigiblelabs/dirigible/data/dirigible-application-executable.jar - Skips future downloads unless the npm package version changes.
🚀 Usage
Since Dirigible is a Java application, you must have the Java Development Kit (JDK) 21 or higher installed on your
system to run the executable JAR. The default path of the jar is
@dirigiblelabs/dirigible/data/dirigible-application-executable.jar
1. Installation
Install the package as a development dependency in your project:
npm install @dirigiblelabs/dirigible --save-dev
2. Execution
To run the Dirigible server, you need to execute the JAR file using the java -jar command.
The executable JAR file is installed in your node_modules folder. You can use a one-line command to locate and run it:
java -jar $(npm prefix)/node_modules/@dirigiblelabs/dirigible/data/dirigible-application-executable.jar
The server will start, typically accessible at http://localhost:8080. Default Login admin /
admin
