Steps to Build Electron?

[danoli3]

So to Build the Electron project are the following steps correct:

npm install electron-packager --save-dev
npm install electron-packager -g

Then the following:

npm install

nam start

npm run build

Then how do you specify what target?

Hey @danoli3. I think electron-packager gets installed when you run npm install. I don't remember running it manually myself.

Yes on npm install to install all the modules and npm start to get it running.

npm run build will build for all platforms. I think that this is supposed to work, but I believe I got an error when it was trying to package for linux..

platform-specifc variants are...

• npm run build:osx
• npm run build:linux32
• npm run build:linux64
• npm run build:vs

You can see them if you take a look at the scripts section inside package.json

you can also find the very latest build incluing the binary for the command line tool in the correct place here

http://ci.openframeworks.cc/projectGenerator/

the ci servers build the PG whenever there's any change and put it there for the nightlies packaging tool.

I think this can get closed now that #105 is merged
