I input 'npm run build',then it stops at 'Downloading electron-v1.4.13-linux-ia32.zip', Why is linux? I just run it on windows? And the download is always failed.

Hi. You have to run npm run dist, this will generate the proper installer of the OS you are using. By default Electron will look for a dist forlder which you have to create at root.

/-app
/-build
/-dist
/-package.json

Pay attention to this part of the package.json

"scripts": {
    "pack": "build --dir", // This is not useful now :/
    "dist": "build", // This will run the build section of the package.json which will creates Win, Mac and Linux (.deb and .rpm) installer.
    "build": "electron-packager ./app soube --out=dist --platform=linux --ignore='^/dist$' --arch=all --prune --icon='./app/assets/img/icon.png'" // This part is LINUX only, this will generate the project as a binary folder for distributions that doesn't support .deb or .rpm
  }

The process can take a while so don't worry about it, but to be sure take a look at the dist folder and you will see: win, win-unpacked and a NSIS installer wich will be then a soube Setup 1.3.3.exe.

In this repo I have two branch master and develop. Don't use the develop because I'm changing the structure of the folder, refactoring the code, fixing some stuff and adding new ones :)... and it is still unstable.
