"run dist" does not exist and "run build" errors

[thoni56]

How do I build a distribution of this? When I do

npm run dist

as the README.md says that does not exist. And

npm run build

crashes with

MusicPlayer/node_modules/electron-builder/node_modules/fs-extra/lib/mkdirs/make-dir.js:86
     } catch {
             ^

The command on the readme should be updated to npm run build. However on running npm run build I was unable to recreate the issue.

Are you trying to build from an external drive? If so that might be the issue as indicated here: electron-userland/electron-builder#4045 (comment)

I removed everything and re-cloned and now it worked so there was probably something wrong with my copy, or something I did when trying variations on "npm run..." until I got the bright idea to look in package.json ;-)

So all is well. After that minor update in the README, of course.

Thanks.
