How to Create an Electron Installation Packer

To-Do First

Please dont forget to add this once you are done with your project and you want to start packing up for deployment. Follow the steps below to get started:

# For use in npm scripts (recommended)
npm install electron-packager --save-dev

# For use from the CLI
npm install electron-packager -g

Once you are done installing, go ahead then and edit a couple of things from the code below:

electron-packager . WestgateXL --overwrite --asar=true --platform=win32 --arch=ia32 --icon=assets/icons/win/icon.ico --prune=true --out=release-builds --version-string.CompanyName=CE --version-string.FileDescription=CE --version-string.ProductName="WestgateXL"

Lastly, once you are done, go ahead and copy and paste this into your CLI to start creating your packager, then your done!
