yes you can publish a self contained executable using dotnet script publish {script name}.csx. You can find all the options here https://github.com/filipw/dotnet-script#creating-dlls-or-exes-from-a-csx-file

It creates a self contained dotnet executable which can be executed from the command line as any executable. Because of that it will be about ~80MB in size.

@filipw That is a good option, but will unfortunately not work in our case.
Basically we have a low code solution (kind of node-red but for .NET) where users build flows in a drag n drop UI connecting modules to build logic...
Most modules are purpose built, but we have a few code modules such as Python, IronPython and C#. Since dotnet-script offer so much more with nuget packages etc we thought it would be cool to add dotnet-script as a module as well. Would provide huge flexibility for use-cases were we do not have a module ready.

Since the code often run on small gateways (or other edge devices) we try to keep the runtime as small as possible and loading one or more dotnet-scripts with 80mb each will not be an option today.

Anyway, thanks for the quick answer. Really love dotnet-script and use it for a lot of other stuff almost daily
