How do you mean ‘with Electron App’?

This is offtopic for Electron Packager, because it doesn't handle creating installers.

However, with Electron Forge (which uses Electron Packager), you can build installers/packages that handle dependencies. Specifically for Windows, it looks like you should be using https://github.com/mongodb-js/electron-squirrel-startup. I haven't used it myself, so if you have questions about it, please feel free to ask in one of the Electron community forums.

@englishextra Some npm packages require to do:

sudo apt-get install something 

So, the question is how to do that with Electron Packager? But looks like Electron Forge is close to answer

@askucher Learn to formulate what you want to achieve, when come and here pose your question. You didn't specify what is your app about to do, and what is it in aid of. And You come here and say something unspecified and downvote people who try to assist you.

@englishextra This project follows the Electron community's code of conduct, I would ask you to please be more respectful and empathetic towards issue reporters.

[englishextra]

@malept Hope this applies to issuereporters as well.

[malept]

@englishextra it does. This issue reporter did not violate the code of conduct.

[englishextra]

This issue reporter did not violate the code of conduct.

Which I didn't either. It was me who got arrogance here. Let's face it. I am here to share my experience and nothing else.

@englishextra what you said in https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-packager/issues/577#issuecomment-277915907 can be interpreted by a reasonable person like you're scolding the issue reporter for not being able to state their question fully-formed and using the issue reactions in possibly a different way than you do.

From the code of conduct, comments should strive to be (picking the relevant ones in this case):

• Using welcoming and inclusive language
• Being respectful of differing viewpoints and experiences
• Showing empathy towards other community members

English might not be your first language, so I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that you did not mean your comment to have malicious intent. However, I would ask you in the future to reread comments before you post to make sure that what you say cannot reasonably be interpreted in a negative way.

This is the last comment I'm going to post on this matter.

[englishextra]

@malept Thanks.

I guess, This is not about the code of conduct, it's about the Electron project spirit.

This is the last comment I'm going to post on this matter.

Never say never.
