This command will produce the distributable assets in the release folder based on the configuration from electron-builder which is stored in electron-builder.json and package.json. Check the API description of electron-builder and adapt the configuration if you need some special configuration for you environment.
Note: Don’t expect that you can build app for all platforms on one platform. Read details
The first thing to do is to install all the necessary dependencies:
$ npm install
To develop an application in PWA and Electron mode, you need to run the application with a command:
$ npm run start
The Electron version of the application will open in a separate window, and the PWA version will be available in the browser at http://localhost:4200.
If you want to run only the angular app without electron, in this case you can use the command:
$ npm run ng:serve
