This will:
|
|
|
|
- Find or download the correct release of Electron
|
|
- Use that version of electron to create a app in `cwd` named using `appname` for the platform you specified
|
|
|
|
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. For example, do not include the `node_modules/electron-packager` folder or `node_modules/electron-prebuilt`. You can use `--ignore=node_modules/electron-prebuilt` to ignore of these
