[install-app-deps] what does it do?

See original GitHub issue

hi,

I am cleaning up my project and and to change install-app-deps to electron-builder install-app-deps now i can’t seem to really find what it does. Does it run npm rebuild --runtime=electron ... ?

BTW if not does electron-builder has a command or such to do the npm rebuild ? (something that needs to be done after a npm install for native modules to work.

Thanks

@develar sorry but that doc line does not explain it for me 😒 What does it do? And i think i am right to ask because if install-app-deps is supposed to do the npm rebuild --runtime=electron ... then it does not work here for me on windows 10

Does it run npm rebuild --runtime=electron … ?

Yes. But! build from sources is not forced. If some of your native dep still use node-pre-gyp instead of prebuild, you have to set option "buildDependenciesFromSource": true and ask author of module to use prebuild (https://github.com/EmergingTechnologyAdvisors/node-serialport/issues/1180).
