A complete solution to package and build a ready for distribution Electron, Proton Native or Muon app for macOS, Windows and Linux with auto update support out of the box.

• Electron Builder Mac No Valid Identity Dmg Download

• NPM packages management:
  • Native application dependencies compilation (including Yarn support).
  • Development dependencies are never included. You don't need to ignore them explicitly.
• Code Signing on a CI server or development machine.
• Auto Update ready application packaging.
• Numerous target formats:
  • All platforms: 7z, zip, tar.xz, tar.7z, tar.lz, tar.gz, tar.bz2, dir (unpacked directory).
  • macOS: dmg, pkg, mas.
  • Linux: AppImage, snap, debian package (deb), rpm, freebsd, pacman, p5p, apk.
  • Windows: nsis (Installer), nsis-web (Web installer), portable (portable app without installation), AppX (Windows Store), MSI, Squirrel.Windows.
• Two package.json structure is supported, but you are not forced to use it even if you have native production dependencies.
• Build version management.
• Publishing artifacts to GitHub Releases, Amazon S3, DigitalOcean Spaces and Bintray.
• Pack in a distributable format already packaged app.
• Separate build steps.
• Build and publish in parallel, using hard links on CI server to reduce IO and disk space usage.
• electron-compile support (compile for release-time on the fly on build).
• Docker images to build Electron app for Linux or Windows on any platform.
• Proton Native and Muon support.

Installation

Yarn is strongly recommended instead of npm.

yarn add electron-builder --dev

DMG installer for electron app. 08 November 2016. To create a DMG installer for our Electron app we can use the electron-installer-dmg package. This is the basics that we need to create the DMG. First run the package-mac script that we created to create a package for the mac in the electron. Jul 09, 2019  so here is my problem. I dont know why electron-builder cannot find a valid identity using the environment variable to debug, i always end up at the same problem. Where it says there is no valid identity despite listing there to be 1 valid identity underneath.

Platform specific 7zip-bin-* packages are optionalDependencies, which may require manual install if you have npm configured to not install optional deps by default.

Boilerplates

• electron-webpack-quick-start A bare minimum project structure to get started developing with electron-webpack. This is a recommended way to create a new Electron application.
• electron-react-boilerplate A boilerplate for scalable cross-platform desktop apps.
• electron-react-redux-boilerplate A minimal boilerplate to get started with Electron, React and Redux.
• electron-boilerplate A minimalistic yet comprehensive boilerplate application.

Quick Setup Guide

electron-webpack-quick-start is a recommended way to create a new Electron application.

1. Specify the standard fields in the application package.jsonname, description, version and author.

2. Specify the build configuration in the package.json as follows:

   See all options.

3. Add icons.

4. Add the scripts key to the development package.json:

   Then you can run yarn dist (to package in a distributable format (e.g. dmg, windows installer, deb package)) or yarn pack (only generates the package directory without really packaging it. This is useful for testing purposes).

   To ensure your native dependencies are always matched electron version, simply add script 'postinstall': 'electron-builder install-app-deps' to your package.json.

5. If you have native addons of your own that are part of the application (not as a dependency), set nodeGypRebuild to true.

6. Install the required system packages if you are not on macOS 10.12+.

Please note that everything is packaged into an asar archive by default.

For an app that will be shipped to production, you should sign your application. See Where to buy code signing certificates.

CLI Usage

See Command Line Interface.

Programmatic Usage

See node_modules/electron-builder/out/index.d.ts. Typings for TypeScript are provided.

To build for current platform and current arch:

Add win: [] to build for Windows default target. Add win: ['nsis-web'] to build specified target (web installer) for Windows. The same for mac: [] and linux: []

Add ia32: true to build ia32 (or x64: true, or armv7l: true). Several can be specified and built at once.

Pack Only in a Distributable Format

You can use electron-builder only to pack your electron app in a AppImage, Snaps, Debian package, NSIS, macOS installer component package (pkg)and other distributable formats.

--projectDir (the path to project directory) option also can be useful.
