NPM packages management:
- Native application dependencies compilation (including Yarn support).
- Development dependencies are never included. You don’t need to ignore them explicitly.
- Two package.json structure is supported, but you are not forced to use it even if you have native production dependencies.
Code Signing on a CI server or development machine.
Auto Update ready application packaging.
Numerous target formats:
- All platforms: 7z, zip, tar.xz, tar.lz, tar.gz, tar.bz2, dir (unpacked directory).
- macOS: dmg, pkg, mas, mas-dev.
- Linux: AppImage, snap, debian package (deb), rpm, freebsd, pacman, p5p, apk.
- Windows: nsis (Installer), nsis-web (Web installer), portable (portable app without installation), AppX (Windows Store), Squirrel.Windows.
Publishing artifacts to GitHub Releases, Amazon S3, DigitalOcean Spaces and Bintray.
Advanced building:
- Pack in a distributable format already packaged app.
- Separate build steps.
- Build and publish in parallel, using hard links on CI server to reduce IO and disk space usage.
- electron-compile support (compile for release-time on the fly on build).
Docker images to build Electron app for Linux or Windows on any platform.
Proton Native support.
Downloads all required tools files on demand automatically (e.g. to code sign windows application, to make AppX), no need to setup.

The top-level dmg key contains set of options instructing electron-builder on how it should build DMG. Background String - The path to background image (default: build/background.tiff or build/background.png if exists). The resolution of this file determines the resolution of the installer window. If background is not specified, use window. I don't really get how the autoUpdater object will know which file to open. For instance, if you build for windows, linux and mac and copy paste into your webserver a.zip for mac,.AppImage for linux and an.exe for windows = how will the autoUpdater know which file he is suppose to take?

Installation¶

Yarn is strongly recommended instead of npm.

yarn add electron-builder --dev

Boilerplates¶

electron-webpack-quick-start — A bare minimum project structure to get started developing with electron-webpack. Recommended.
electron-react-boilerplate A boilerplate for scalable cross-platform desktop apps.
electron-react-redux-boilerplate A minimal boilerplate to get started with Electron, React and Redux.
electron-boilerplate A minimalistic yet comprehensive boilerplate application.
Vue CLI 3 plugin for Electron A Vue CLI 3 plugin for Electron with no required configuration.

Quick Setup Guide¶

electron-webpack-quick-start is a recommended way to create a new Electron application.

Specify the standard fields in the application package.json — name, description, version and author.
Specify the build configuration in the package.json as follows:
See all options. Option files to indicate which files should be packed in the final application, including the entry file, maybe required.
Add icons.
Add the scripts key to the development package.json:
Then you can run yarn dist (to package in a distributable format (e.g. dmg, windows installer, deb package)) or yarn pack (only generates the package directory without really packaging it. This is useful for testing purposes).
To ensure your native dependencies are always matched electron version, simply add script 'postinstall': 'electron-builder install-app-deps' to your package.json.
If you have native addons of your own that are part of the application (not as a dependency), set nodeGypRebuild to true.

Please note that everything is packaged into an asar archive by default.

For an app that will be shipped to production, you should sign your application. See Where to buy code signing certificates.

Programmatic Usage¶

See node_modules/electron-builder/out/index.d.ts. Typings for TypeScript is provided.

Pack Only in a Distributable Format¶

You can use electron-builder only to pack your electron app in a AppImage, Snaps, Debian package, NSIS, macOS installer component package (pkg) and other distributable formats.

--projectDir (the path to project directory) option also can be useful.

Debug¶

Set the DEBUG environment variable to debug what electron-builder is doing:

FPM_DEBUG env to add more details about building linux targets (except snap and appimage).

cmd

On Windows the environment variable is set using the set command.

Notarizing your Electron application with Electron Builder

Recently I released my first Electron application. When my application was ready to be released, it was required to have it notarized by Apple, or else nobody could use my your application. Although there are quite a few articles on this matter, it still took some trial and error because I ran into a couple of problems that were not mentioned. To save others some time figuring these things out, I've created this walkthrough to get you started.

Electron Builder

I've used Electron Builder together with the Electro Builder Vue CLI to build my first application. Moshi monsters ice cream game unblocked games. According to the official Electron website, it's described as a 'complete solution to package and build a ready-for-distribution Electron app that focuses on an integrated experience.'

From my experience, Electron Builder works excellent during development, but it seems a bit buggy in regards to making your application available to the general public. I've experienced some issues with notarizing and publishing. So I might give Electron Forge (maintained by Electron) a try for my next application to see how that works compared to Electron Builder (maintained by a third-party).

Apple Developer Program

In order to distribute your Electron app on macOS, you need to participate in Apple's Developer Program, which costs $99
