Build performed in parallel, so, it is highly recommended to not use npm task per platform (e.g. Npm run dist:mac && npm run dist:win32), but specify multiple platforms/targets in one build command. You don't need to clean dist output before build — output directory is cleaned automatically. Docker Desktop stores Linux containers and images in a single, large 'disk image' file in the Mac filesystem. This is different from Docker on Linux, which usually stores containers and images in the /var/lib/docker directory. The size of this file is big in your system because you have a lot of images and containers. Give feedback and get help. To get help from the community, review current user topics, join or start a discussion, log on to our Docker Desktop for Mac forum. To report bugs or problems, log on to Docker Desktop for Mac issues on GitHub, where you can review community reported issues, and file new ones. If you're on a Mac, make sure the Docker engine is running. If you're on Linux, then prefix your docker commands with sudo. Alternatively, you can create a docker group to get rid of this issue. The pull command fetches the busybox image from the Docker registry and saves it to our system.
Overlord™ download free. Info
Don't expect that you can build app for all platforms on one platform.
If your app has native dependency, it can be compiled only on the target platform unless prebuild is not used.
prebuild is a solution, but most node modules don't provide prebuilt binaries.
macOS Code Signing works only on macOS. Cannot be fixed.
Free public Electron Build Service is used to build Electron app for Linux on Windows. On macOS/Linux you can build Electron app for Windows locally, except Appx for Windows Store (in the future (feel free to file issue) electron-build-service will support Appx target).
You can use build servers — e.g. Travis to build macOS/Linux apps and AppVeyor to build Windows app.
By default build for current platform and current arch. Use CLI flags --mac
, --win
, --linux
to specify platforms. And --ia32
, --x64
to specify arch.
For example, to build app for MacOS, Windows and Linux:

Sample .travis.yml
to Build Electron App for macOS, Linux and Windows¶
sample .travis.ymlSample appveyor.yml
to Build Electron App for Windows¶
Use AppVeyor only if:* you need to build AppX,* or your app has native dependency and prebuilt binary is not provided.
Otherwise see above sample .travis.yml
to build Windows on Linux using provided Docker image.
macOS¶
All required system dependencies (except rpm) will be downloaded automatically on demand on macOS 10.12+ (macOS Sierra). On Travis, please add osx_image: xcode10.2
(see above sample .travis.yml
).
To build rpm: brew install rpm
(brew).
Linux¶
You can use Docker to avoid installing system dependencies.
To build app in distributable format for Linux:
To build rpm: sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends -y rpm
(or sudo yum install rpm-build
).
To build pacman: sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends -y bsdtar
.
To build snap if and only if you have custom stage packages (if you don't have custom snap build configuration, you don't need to install). See snapcraft in Store.
To build app for Windows on Linux:¶
Docker (electronuserland/builder:wine
) is recommended to avoid installing system dependencies.
- Install Wine (2.0+ is required) — see WineHQ Binary Packages.
- Install Mono (4.2+ is required) if you want to use Squirrel.Windows (NSIS, default target, doesn't require mono).
To build app in 32 bit from a machine with 64 bit:¶
Travis Linux¶
Xenial is required.
Travis macOS¶
macOS 10.14+ is required.
Docker¶
Docker.raw Mac
To build Linux or Windows on any platform.
Warning
You cannot build for Windows using Docker if you have native dependencies and native dependency doesn't use prebuild.
See example Docker usage on a CI server in the sample .travis.yml.
Note
Do not use Docker Toolbox on macOS. Only Docker for Mac works.
Build Electron App using Docker on a Local Machine¶
Run docker container:
Type in
yarn && yarn dist
If you don't have dist
npm script in your package.json
, call ./node_modules/.bin/electron-builder
directly.
Use AppVeyor only if:* you need to build AppX,* or your app has native dependency and prebuilt binary is not provided.
Otherwise see above sample .travis.yml
to build Windows on Linux using provided Docker image.

Run docker container:

If you don't have dist
npm script in your package.json
, call ./node_modules/.bin/electron-builder

Or to avoid second step, append to first command /bin/bash -c 'yarn && yarn dist'
You can use /test.sh
to install dependencies and run tests.

If you don't need to build Windows, use image electronuserland/builder
(wine is not installed in this image).
