electron-packager: Package an application for the current architecture and platform.
$ electron-packager "${path-to-app}" "${app_name}"
try on your machine
This command is used to package an Electron application into an executable file for different platforms, such as Windows, macOS, and Linux. Here is an explanation of each part of the command:
electron-packager
: This is the command-line tool used for packaging an Electron application."${path-to-app}"
: This is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual path to your Electron application's source code directory. It is wrapped in double quotes to handle spaces or special characters in the path."${app_name}"
: Similarly, this is a placeholder that should be replaced with the desired name for your packaged application. Again, it is wrapped in double quotes.
By executing this command, the electron-packager tool will take the specified Electron application from the provided path and create a distributable package with the given app_name, suitable for the platform (e.g., an .exe file for Windows).
