Description

After following the Usage section of the README file, I tried running electron-builder --linux --windows, but ended up with error:

Downloading electron-global binaries
Downloading electron-global binaries

  [Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, lstat '/home/akepinski/dev/elcalc/node_modules/electron-global/download/linux/electron'] {

After checking the ./electron-global directory, it only contains the electron_version file, which is empty 😢

Thanks for your issue, I will check it on my Ubuntu, but one tip: don't build with electron-builder for all platforms at once (for example: electron-builder --linux --windows), since the electron-global directory only contains binaries for Linux, which means you must run electron-global command before each platform build. For example:

electron-global -l && electron-builder -l
electron-global -w && electron-builder -w

Currently there's no way to overcome this as electron-builder accepts only one electronDist parameter which is platform-independent. The best way to integrate this project better with electron-builder is to get it more popular.
