1. Generate exe, dmg, and deb executable files

preparation: In corresponding operating system for example, build xxx.exe in windows and xxx.dmg in MacOS.

Step 0: pre-release mode, test whether the function is normal 

  1. # prod
  2. npm run start

step 1: Move front-end resource files 

  1. # The operation is as follows:
  2. 1：Build resources, such as 'npm run build' in Vue front-end project
  4. 2：project directory：npm run rd
  6. # instruction
  7. The rd command will copy './frontend/dist' to './public/dist'; The service finally loads the './public/dist' front-end resources.
  8. The code in the frontend directory will not be packaged to prevent source code leakage.

step 2: code encryption (optional)

if not used this function, please do not filter the source code, view the operation: code encryption

  1. # ee-core >= 1.2.10
  2. npm run encrypt
  4. # instruction
  5. the encrypt command will copy  './electron/' to './public/electron', then encrypt it.
  6. the code in the './electron' will not be packaged to prevent source code leakage.
  8. # （deprecated）
  9. npm run compress
  10. npm run restore

Details: code encryption

step 3: run the package command

note: Please try to make unique project name (name attribute in electron-egg/package.json) to prevent conflicts with other software names

  1. # build （windows）
  2. npm run build-w (32 bit)
  3. npm run build-w-64 (64 bit)
  5. # build （mac）
  6. npm run build-m
  7. npm run build-m-arm64 (m1)
  9. # build （linux）
  10. npm run build-l

Note: For more information about platform Packaging, see: https://www.electron.build/

step 4: Find the program 

  1. directory：electron-egg/out
  2. Installation package：electron-egg/out/electron-egg-windows-2.0.3.exe

2. Other modifications

  1. modify the application name ```

    modify ./package.json file

    name: project name productName: app name appId: id shortcutName: Desktop shortcut name

modify ./frontend/vue.config.js

args[0].title= software header name

  2. 2. modify the desktop icon

file path

./build/icons/256x256.png (Name and size must be consistent)(windows or Linux) ./build/icons/512x512.png (Name and size must be consistent)(windows or Linux) ./build/icons/icon.ico (macOs)

  2. 3. modify the minimize tray icon

file path

./public/images/tray_logo.png (suggest 32x32 或 16x16 ) ```
