Installation

Installation

Package Managers

npm

npm install @visulima/task-runner

yarn

yarn add @visulima/task-runner

pnpm

pnpm add @visulima/task-runner

Requirements

  • Node.js: 20.19 or higher
  • TypeScript: Optional but recommended for full type safety

Optional: Native Addon

For maximum performance, the task runner includes an optional Rust-based native addon that provides:

  • xxHash xxh3-128 file hashing (5-10x faster than SHA-256)
  • Parallel file hashing via rayon (utilizes all CPU cores)

The native addon is loaded automatically when available and falls back to pure TypeScript implementations otherwise. No additional installation is required.
