Use electron-builder to generate install packages #81
Comments
Thanks @krolow. I'm not very familiar with electron-builder, but from the looks of it I thought it should take care of most things we need, why the following is needed?

that would do the build in a mac env...For mac it adds the dmg installer that can have some icon to install/background and other things... not sure if we do have some art for those things or can I set some default one...
let me know what do you think about...
