npm install resedit pkg --save-dev

node build.js myapp

your error looks like you are using 'es-module'
the script i wrote isnt a module but a standalone file using commonjs

Error Sir,
PS D:\my-node-project> node build.js myapp
file:///D:/my-node-project/build.js:3
const { pkg_fetch_version, node_version, pkg_cache_path, icon, version, description, company, name, copyright, file } = require(./${process.argv[2]}.json);
^

ReferenceError: require is not defined in ES module scope, you can use import instead
This file is being treated as an ES module because it has a '.js' file extension and 'D:\my-node-project\package.json' contains "type": "module". To treat it as a CommonJS script, rename it to use the '.cjs' file extension.

same reply, so you would need to convert it yourself sadly
