Electron is an npm module that contains pre-compiled versions of Electron.
If you’ve installed it globally with npm, then you will only need to run the following in your app’s source directory:
electron .
If you’ve installed it locally, then run:
macOS
./node_modules/.bin/electron .
or
./Electron.app/Contents/MacOS/Electron your-app/
Linux
./node_modules/.bin/electron .
or
./electron/electron your-app/
Windows
.\node_modules\.bin\electron .
or
.\electron\electron.exe your-app\
# Clone the repository
git clone [email protected]:linkRachit/Electron-sample-app.git
# Go into the repository
cd Electron-sample-app
# Install dependencies
npm install
# Run the app
npm start
Now you are able to see GUI of app, app icon in tray, and app service in platform services and every time system restart, app will be launch automatically.
