How do I run the app?

Being completely new to JS technologies, how do I run this app (using OS X and Linux)?
Do I have to install Electron? The package.json seems to suggest an app-version of Electron.

Nevermind, figured it out.
From the root of the repository, run node_modules/.bin/electron .

Your intuition is correct. To run the example:

  1. Visit https://electron.atom.io/releases/ and select the latest release.
  2. Download and install Electron for your platform.
  3. Open a shell and navigate to the folder where you unpacked the example.
  4. Run /path-to-electron/electon .

The last command passes the current working directory to electron as an argument. Make sure to replace path-to-electron with your own local path.
