Question

I am unable to package my electron app using electron packager. I have installed electron packager by running the command npm install electron-packager --save-dev . I run electron-pacakger. command to package my application, but got this error again and again. Here is a screenshot of this: screenshot of error from cmd

Note : I am using windows 10. My app runs on this OS by running command npm start just I cannot package it.

Here is package.json file:

 { "name": "demo", "version": "1.0.0", "description": "", "main": "main.js", "scripts": { "start": "electron." }, "author": "", "license": "ISC", "devDependencies": { "electron": "^8.2.1", "electron-packager": "^14.2.1" } }

Please help me.

I don't see a script to call electron-packager – so I am confused about what you are trying to do. It doesn't just happen by itself – you need to tell it what to do. Here is the (edited) scripts section from a project I am working on. Assumes you have a directory named "release-builds" at the same level as the package.json file as specified by this line --out=release-builds"

 "scripts": {
    "start": "electron .",
    "package-mac": "electron-packager . --overwrite  --platform=darwin --arch=x64  --prune=true --out=release-builds",
    "package-win": "electron-packager . --overwrite  --platform=win32 --arch=x64   --prune=true --out=release-builds",
    "pack": "build --dir",
    "dist": "electron-builder -mw"
  },

And you would call it in the terminal through:

npm run package-mac
npm run package-win
