Electron Installer: Snap
Builds Snap files for Electron applications that have already been bundled and customized.
Requirements
Requires Node 10 or greater, and snapcraft
.
Quick Start
The easiest way is to use Electron Forge and enable the snap
maker.
To use this as a standalone CLI, install electron-installer-snap
to your project:
npm install --save-dev electron-installer-snap
# or
yarn add --dev electron-installer-snap
Then add to your package.json
:
{
// ...
"scripts": {
"build:package": "electron-packager . --out=out"
"build:snap": "electron-installer-snap --src=out/myappname-linux-x64"
},
// ...
}
Then you can run npm run build:package && npm run build:snap
, which will prepare the Electron app
for bundling and generate a .snap
file in your current directory.
It is recommended to ignore the generated snap
directory in your version control.
Options
Available command-line options are displayed when you run electron-installer-snap --help
.
For the JavaScript API, please see the API docs.
