nodejs - pkg Error! Not more than one entry file/directory is expected

I have a simple cli node script that I want to pack using pkg. I've tried with the following command

host:~ dev$ pkg /Users/dev/Desktop/myscript/ --target node14-macos-x64 node14-linux-x64 node14-win-x64

unfortunately I will get this error in terminal

> Error! Not more than one entry file/directory is expected

If I try to remove the target instead, I will get this other error in terminal

> [email protected]
> Targets not specified. Assuming:
  node15-linux-x64, node15-macos-x64, node15-win-x64
> Error! No available node version satisfies 'node15'

In my system I'm running node v15.4.0 so I can't understand what's wrong.

My project package.json file looks like:

{
  "name": "myscript",
  "version": "1.3.0",
  "bin": "index.js",
  "dependencies": {
    "chalk": "^4.1.0",
    "commander": "^7.1.0",
    "dotenv": "^8.2.0",
    "facebook-chat-api": "^1.8.0",
    "forever-monitor": "^3.0.3",
    "node-notifier": "^9.0.0"
  }
}

How I can pack my app and fix these problems?

Seems like you're missing an s : use --targets instead of --target

pkg can generate executables for several target machines at a time. You can specify a comma-separated list of targets via --targets
