🎁 Download

Quick start

Firstly be sure you have installed Node.js and NPM successfully.

Install bower global

$ npm install -g bower

Install dependency

$ npm install

$ bower install

Start app

$ npm start

To start app with debug model, use:

$ npm run dev

Enjoy it! 😄

How to package

We use electron-packager package the application to facilitate the distribution of it.

Install electron-packager global

$ npm install -g electron-packager

Package app

After finished all operations in Quick start, go into the app folder, execute:

$ npm run package

Attentions

• During packing electron-packager will download all required files and cache them in ~/.electron folder（user/your_user_name/.electron in Windows）, it may be very slow, I suggest you to manually download them into the folder through some download tool (the required files see Electron Release).
• Packing Darwin app in Windows may fail (even if there is no error, packaged application may also be unable to run in OS X), there seems no nice solution now, I suggest you to package Darwin app on non-Windows platform. See more details in Issue 164.
