Build

  • Run npm run electron-build to build the project

  • Runnable on the following host platforms:

      - Windows (32/64 bit)
  - macOS (formerly known as OS X)
  - Linux (x86/x86_64)

  • To get desktop app run the following:

      electron-packager <sourcedir> <appname> --platform=<platform> --arch=<arch> [optional flags...]

This will:

  • Find or download the correct release of Electron

  • Use that version of Electron to create a app in <out>/<appname>-<platform>-<arch> (this can be customized via an optional flag) --platform and --arch can be omitted, in two cases:

  • If you specify --all instead, bundles for all valid combinations of target platforms/architectures will be created.

  • Otherwise, a single bundle for the host platform/architecture will be created.
