Solution

working code, but make sure download:7z https://www.7-zip.org/download.html as per system(window,mac,or any other) and setup environment

<pre>
import  Seven from 'node-7z'
const options = {
  // Replace 'your-password' with the desired password for the archive.
  password: '1234',
};

const filesToCompress = 'create_zip'; // List of files to include in the archive.

const archiveName = 'myArchive.7z'; // Specify the name of the archive file.

// Create the 7z archive with a password.
const myStream = Seven.add(archiveName, filesToCompress, options);

// Handle progress events (optional)
myStream.on('progress', (event) => {
  console.log(`Progress: ${event.percent}%`);
});

// Handle completion
myStream.on('end', () => {
  console.log('7-Zip archive created with password.');
});

// Handle errors
myStream.on('error', (error) => {
  console.error(`Error: ${error.message}`);
