Cannot find wine64 despite wine-stable installed via homebrew #1129

@ghost

Description

I am using mac and I cloned the electron-quick-start repo.
If I do electron-packager . --all I get this error:

Could not find "wine64" on your system.

Wine is required to use the appCopyright, appVersion, buildVersion, icon, and 
win32metadata parameters for Windows targets.

Make sure that the "wine64" executable is in your PATH.

I am not sure what this means, I installed Wine using: https://wiki.winehq.org/MacOS
brew cask install wine-stable

All I want is to be able to generate a portable exe file to open the app on Windows machines
