just download template as zip file and perform followings steps

npm i
npm run dist

Operating system: Linux notebook 5.19.0-41-generic #42~22.04.1-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Tue Apr 18 17:40:00 UTC 2 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Version of the template: v22.0.0

Then go to folder cd secure-electron-template-master/dist/linux-unpacked/resources/ after that npx asar extract app.asar test.

Inside test folder, I am able to each and every file of electronjs and react app. Then what is secure?
