Development

Project's folders

• app - code of your application goes here.
• config - place for you to declare environment specific stuff.
• build - in this folder lands built, runnable application.
• releases - ready for distribution installers will land here.
• resources - resources for particular operating system.
• tasks - build and development environment scripts.

Installation

npm install

It will also download Electron runtime, and install dependencies for second package.json file inside app folder.

Starting the app

npm start

Making a release

To make ready for distribution installer use command:

npm run release

It will start the packaging process for operating system you are running this command on. Ready for distribution file will be outputted to releases directory.

You can create Windows installer only when running on Windows, the same is true for Linux and OSX. So to generate all three installers you need all three operating systems.
