Quark Client Software

Building Project

Use this command to create distribution (exe file) and upload it to github. A fresh setup file is also update to server.

> npm run ship

To start the project, we can use following command.

> npm start

Package file : electron-builder.yml

Before running "npm run ship" to create new release, we need to add new file called "electron-builder.yml" at root of the project. It contains github token so best to not version it.

The file content looks like this:

appId: "quarkclient" publish: provider: "github" token: "7966xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxb766dee9"

Reference
