Package

• It is recommended to use electron-builder for packaging.

• Go to the ./ folder, run npm run make . The packaged files will be in the ./dist folder.

• This command may take several minutes to finish when you run it the first time, as it needs time to download dependent files. You can download the dependencies manually here, or Taobao mirror, then save the files to ~/.electron. You can check the Electron Docs for more infomation.

  # pack
  npm run make # the packed files will be in ./dist
  
  # or 
  npm run build-and-make
