+# Creating a .deb package
+
+You need `electron-packager` and `electron-installer-debian` installed.
+
+```
+npm install -g electron-package electron-install-debian
+```
+
+Now run the following from the root of fanbox:
+
+```
+electron-package . --out dist/
+mkdir dist/packages/
+electron-installer-debian --src dist/fanbox-linux-x64/ --arch amd64 --dest dist/packages
+```
+
+That will create a `.deb` file in the `dist/packages` directory.
