|
||||
[](https://www.npmjs.com/package/electron)
|
||||
|
||||
Install [Electron](https://github.com/electron/electron) prebuilt binaries for
|
||||
command-line use using npm. This module helps you easily install the `electron`
|
||||
command for use on the command line without having to compile anything.
|
||||
|
||||
[Electron](http://electron.atom.io) is a JavaScript runtime that bundles Node.js
|
||||
and Chromium. You use it similar to the `node` command on the command line for
|
||||
executing JavaScript programs. For more info you can read [this intro blog post](http://maxogden.com/electron-fundamentals.html)
|
||||
or dive into the [Electron documentation](http://electron.atom.io/docs).
|
||||
|
||||
## Installation
|
||||
|
||||
**Note** As of version 1.3.1, this package is published to npm under two names:
|
||||
`electron` and `electron-prebuilt`. You can currently use either name, but
|
||||
`electron` is recommended, as the `electron-prebuilt` name is deprecated, and
|
||||
will only be published until the end of 2016.
|
||||
|
||||
Download and install the latest build of Electron for your OS and add it to your
|
||||
project's `package.json` as a `devDependency`:
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
npm install electron --save-dev
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This is the preferred way to use Electron, as it doesn't require users to
|
||||
install Electron globally.
|
||||
|
||||
You can also use the `-g` flag (global) to symlink it into your PATH:
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
npm install -g electron
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If that command fails with an `EACCESS` error you may have to run it again with `sudo`:
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
sudo npm install -g electron
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Now you can just run `electron` to run electron:
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
electron
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If you need to use an HTTP proxy you can [set these environment variables](https://github.com/request/request/tree/f0c4ec061141051988d1216c24936ad2e7d5c45d#controlling-proxy-behaviour-using-environment-variables).
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to change the architecture that is downloaded (e.g., `ia32` on an
|
||||
`x64` machine), you can use the `--arch` flag with npm install or set the
|
||||
`npm_config_arch` environment variable:
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
npm install --arch=ia32 electron
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If you need to force a re-download of the asset and the SHASUM file set the `force_no_cache` enviroment variable to true.
|
||||
|
||||
## About
|
||||
|
||||
Works on Mac, Windows and Linux OSes that Electron supports (e.g. Electron
|
||||
[does not support Windows XP](https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/691)).
|
||||
|
||||
The version numbers of this module match the version number of the [official
|
||||
Electron releases](https://github.com/electron/electron/releases), which
|
||||
[do not follow semantic versioning](http://electron.atom.io/docs/tutorial/electron-versioning/).
|
||||
|
||||
This module is automatically released whenever a new version of Electron is
|
||||
released thanks to [electron-prebuilt-updater](https://github.com/electron/electron-prebuilt-updater),
|
||||
originally written by [John Muhl](https://github.com/johnmuhl/).
|
||||
|
||||
## Usage
|
||||
|
||||
First, you have to [write an Electron application](http://electron.atom.io/docs/tutorial/quick-start/).
|
||||
|
||||
Then, you can run your app using:
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
electron your-app/
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Programmatic usage
|
||||
|
||||
Most people use this from the command line, but if you require `electron` inside
|
||||
your **Node app** (not your Electron app) it will return the file path to the
|
||||
binary. Use this to spawn Electron from Node scripts:
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
var electron = require('electron')
|
||||
var proc = require('child_process')
|
||||
|
||||
// will print something similar to /Users/maf/.../Electron
|
||||
console.log(electron)
|
||||
|
||||
// spawn Electron
|
||||
var child = proc.spawn(electron)
|
||||
```
