I have searched a lot, but nothing really helped to build my app as portable. No mater what I do always the result is a nsis.
It follows the package.json:
{
"name": "pvmplayer",
"version": "1.0.0",
"description": "",
"main": "main.js",
"scripts": {
"postinstall": "install-app-deps",
"start": "npm install && electron .",
"pack": "build --dir",
"dist": "build"
},
"author": "",
"license": "ISC",
"devDependencies": {
"ajv": "^6.5.1",
"electron": "^2.0.2",
"electron-builder": "^20.15.1"
},
"optionalDependencies": {},
"dependencies": {},
"electronBuilder": {
"build": {
"productName": "PVM Player",
"appId": "scripter.PVMplayer",
"win": {
"target": ["portable"]
},
"directories": {
"output": "electron/output",
"app": "electron/app",
"buildResources": "electron/buildResources"
}
}
}
}
Is there any good guide to follow?
Try putting "win": { "target": ["portable"] }
and "portable": { "artifactName": "pvmplayer_portable.exe" }
in "build"
, portable file will be created as pvmplayer_portable.exe
:
{
"name": "pvmplayer",
