How to use electron-forge-maker-nsis
See original GitHub issueThis isn’t a bug as much as a request for documentation. I am currently using Electron Forge on a project and wanted to use your electron-forge-maker-nsis package to help create a NSIS installer.
The documentation is very scant on how to do this within the Electron Forge framework.
I think it would be most helpful to know:
- how to configure this within Electron Forge. Should there be a “nsis” key at the top level of my package.json?
- how to run this task. I have tried just running the task straight (
yarn electron-forge-maker-nsis
) but that is not a valid command. How can I hook this into a scripts object so I can create a shortcut to run it?
Thanks for all your hard work in improving the Electron development landscape!

I’m also interested in doing this, as while Electron Builder does a great job of building everything for distribution, we’re using an instance of Atlassian’s Nucleus for distributing our application. Electron Forge has a much better integration with that platform for distribution, but the installers it generates for windows are, frankly, hot garbage from a visual standpoint.
Do you have example of using this package?
I’m currently using
In electron forge.
If I switch to
electron-forge-maker-nsis
, how the config file will be? Where to put icon path?
