It is **not** recommended to install `@electron/packager` globally.

### Building Windows apps from non-Windows platforms

Building an Electron app for the Windows target platform requires editing the `Electron.exe` file.
Currently, Electron Packager uses [`node-rcedit`](https://github.com/electron/node-rcedit) to accomplish
this. A Windows executable is bundled in that Node package and needs to be run in order for this
functionality to work, so on non-Windows host platforms (not including WSL),
[Wine](https://www.winehq.org/) 1.6 or later needs to be installed. On macOS, it is installable
via [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/).

## Usage

### Via JavaScript
