How to upgrade electron to latest version?

Question

Whats the best way to upgrade to the latest version of electron? Should I be concerned about any problems caused by upgrading?

I'm playing around with “electron”: “^1.7.9”, and “react”: “^16.1.1”, on linux. I'm using yarn, not npm;

The app I'm playing around with has never been ejected, so the assumed config is intact.

The codebase I'm using is here: https://github.com/csepulv/electron-with-create-react-app
