Package your electron app in OS executables (.app, .exe, etc) via JS or CLI. Supports building Windows, Linux or Mac executables.
|
||||
## Introduction

||||
[![NPM](https://nodei.co/npm/nativefier.png)](https://nodei.co/npm/nativefier/)
|
||||
|
||||
*formerly known as atom-shell-packager*
|
||||
Package and wraps a single-page web app in an [electron](http://electron.atom.io) OS executable (.app, .exe, etc) via the command line.

||||
|
||||
[![NPM](https://nodei.co/npm/electron-packager.png)](https://nodei.co/npm/electron-packager/)
|
||||
Simply a fork with a small layer of abstraction on top of [electron-packager](https://github.com/maxogden/electron-packager) for the CLI.

I did this because I was tired of having to `⌘-tab or alt-tab` to my browser and then search through the numerous tabs open when I was using [Whatsapp Web](http://web.whatsapp.com) or [Facebook Messenger](http://messenger.com).

## Examples
|
||||
|
||||
- Find or download the correct release of Electron
|
||||
- Use that version of electron to create a app in `<out>/<appname>-<platform>-<arch>`
|
||||
Creating a native wrapper of `http://messenger.com` for `OSX x64`:
|
||||
|
||||
You should be able to launch the app on the platform you built for. If not, check your settings and try again.
|
||||
|
||||
**Be careful** not to include node_modules you don't want into your final app. `electron-packager`, `electron-prebuilt` and `.git` will be ignored by default. You can use `--ignore` to ignore files and folders, e.g. `--ignore=node_modules/electron-packager` or `--ignore="node_modules/(electron-packager|electron-prebuilt)"`.

### Building windows apps from non-windows platforms
|
||||
|
||||
If you run this on windows and you want to set the icon for your app using the `--icon` option, it requires running a thing called `rcedit.exe` (via [this](https://github.com/atom/node-rcedit)), which means you will need to install `wine` and have it available in your path. To do this on Mac OS you can `brew install wine`.
