This page is for my notes on using electron with vue.

Install

Electron CLI

sudo npm i -g electron # install electron globally.

If you get an error about not being able to create a folder, you can force it with

sudo npm i -g electron --unsafe-perm=true --allow-root

Electron Forge CLI

I recomend using electron forge.

sudo npm install -g electron-forge # install electron-forge globally.

Again if it errors you can force with

sudo npm install -g electron-forge --unsafe-perm=true --allow-root # install electron-forge globally.

Create Vue Project

electron-forge init my-new-project --template=vue
cd my-new-project
electron-forge start # Or npm run start
