Electron Forge
A complete tool for building modern Electron applications.
Electron Forge unifies the existing (and well maintained) build tools for Electron development into a simple, easy to use package so that anyone can jump right in to Electron development.

Getting Started
Pre-requisites:
- Node 16.4.0 or higher
- Git
If you have a more recent version of npm or yarn, you can use
npx,
or
yarn create.
```bash npx create-electron-app my-new-app
or
yarn create electron-app my-new-app
then
cd my-new-app npm start ```
For more information on creating a new project from a template, see our CLI documentation.
Docs and Usage
For Electron Forge documentation and usage you should check out our website: electronforge.io
Project Goals
- Starting with Electron should be as simple as a single command.
- Developers shouldn't have to worry about setting up build tooling, native module rebuilding, etc. Everything should "just work" for them out of the box.
- Everything from creating the project to packaging the project for release should be handled by one core dependency in a standard way while still offering users maximum choice and freedom.
With these goals in mind, under the hood this project uses, among others:
@electron/rebuild: Automatically recompiles native Node.js modules against the correct Electron version.@electron/packager: Customizes and bundles your Electron app to get it ready for distribution.
Contributing
If you are interested in reporting/fixing issues and contributing directly to the code base, please see CONTRIBUTING.md for more information on what we're looking for and how to get started.
Community
Please report bugs or feature requests in our issue tracker. You can find help for debugging your Electron Forge on the Support page, and ask questions in the official Electron Discord server, where there is a dedicated channel for Electron Forge.
