Build option to be bundled as a standalone target

[httpete-broadcom]

We want to distribute this as a https://nodejs.org/api/single-executable-applications.html#generating-single-executable-preparation-blobs single executable can you provide this or instructions how? I tried using pkg and configuring rollup to bundle the third party dependencies but I get stuck on an xhr one.

I think this would really enhance the deployment scenarios of this export server for many. Currently we do our charting in java.

Same issue here, I made a minmal failing example... It only contains highcharts-export-server which I try to bundle with rollup. On execution I get:

 $ node.exe main.cjs
node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1215
  throw err;
  ^

Run npm run build:release to bundle.
cd dist; node.exe main.cjs to run.
