How to deploy an Electron app as an executable or installable in Windows?

windows deployment desktop-application electron

You can package your program using electron-packager and then build a single setup EXE file using InnoSetup.


Since most answers dont have step by step instructions on packaging, let me post how i got to package the electron app.

We will be installing electron-packager first.

Electron Packager is a command line tool and Node.js library that bundles Electron-based application source code with a renamed Electron executable and supporting files into folders ready for distribution.

Install electron-packager : run following command in windows cmd

npm install -g electron-packager --save-dev

Next, lets package our app for windowsx64:

electron-packager appdirectory appName --platform=win32 --arch=x64 --electron-version=1.4.3
