I used @vercel/ncc to generate one index.js file and then use pkg on the generated index.js file.

My package.json scripts is like this:

"scripts": {
    "test": "jest",
    "start": "node src/index.js",
    "dev": "nodemon src/index.js",
    "build": "ncc build  -o build/lib ./src/index.js && pkg --target node16-win-x64 -o build/MY-API.exe ./build/lib/index.js"
  },
