electron-builder VS melvor-mod-manager

The last step for each platform's build process is to upload the app to our GitHub releases repository. We automated this step from the beginning, but when we started creating builds for the new M1 chip Macs, we had to add a manual step. This involved merging files needed for the auto-updater to work with the M1 builds.

https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-builder/issues... that issue kinks to the PR that adds the automation.

It's a non-trivial thing to test, since it involves so many secrets and the notarization step can take over an hour, so I don't expect anyone here to actually want to look into it.

My original comment really was just venting my frustration, not a cry for help (but I might be crying soon if I can get to the bottom of this!).

Well, yes. And no.

For example, electron-builder [^0], a popular framework used for Electron app packaging and auto-updates, uses a local update server on Mac [^1] to add a more sane system backed by a more insane system, Squirrel.

The Project uses Electorn-Builder to package the app and Electorn-Updater to update.

Ostara is based off of electron-react-boilerplate and uses electron-builder to package the application.

Install electron and electron-builder

I believe Visual Studio Code uses Electron and posts releases on a regular basis. Maybe check their A quick Google search for "electron build github release" turns up "Electron Builder" https://www.electron.build/ I don't really know though; I've never used Electron.

I also would like to have an NSIS installer so if it happens to package the Chromium executable along with my app, how can I accomplish that? I am using electron-builder.

We use electron-builder at work.

https://github.com/CherryMace/melvor-mod-manager It has a browse directory as well as the option to import mods via links or files as well. The unlimited offline should be in the browse section as it is one of the more popular ones

yes, you can dowload the Melvor Mod Manager that downloads and auto-runs mods as you start the game :D

You can install Keybindings on Steam through Melvor Mod Manager's Discover tab. This should probably be #1 in your load order.

I also did open an issue on GH before realizing this point here https://github.com/CherryMace/melvor-mod-manager/issues/3

Download the latest installer from the official releases

Download and run the Melvor-Mod-Manager-Setup-0.1.1.exe from the Latest Release. You will likely receive a warning that the publisher is unknown - I do not have a code signing certificate (if anyone has suggestions on a good CA to go with for these kinds of projects let me know!) so make sure you only download releases from GitHub or compile the code yourself.
