change build script about gulp-app

[sindresorhus]

It's already using the local electron-packager. Those environment variables are set for you. All you need is to run npm run build.

[zeakd]

I think it should be reopened.

  "scripts": {
    "start": "electron .",
    "build": "electron-packager . $npm_package_productName --prune --asar",
    "test": "xo"
  },

package.json the script start and build use globally installed electron and electron-packager, also even locally installed electron-packager can't execute that command because --platform=<platform> --arch=<arch> are required options in V7.0.3.

@sindresorhus. Now I know it use locally installed package, but here is the error.

Usage: electron-packager <sourcedir> <appname> --platform=<platform> --arch=<arch>

Required options

sourcedir          the base directory of the application source

arch               all, or one or more of: ia32, x64 (comma-delimited if multiple)

  Or:

all                equivalent to --platform=all --arch=all

  Examples:        electron-packager ./ --platform=darwin --arch=x64
