Where should installer be called?

Hi there! I’m having trouble figuring out where to run this script from 😅

I’m using this tool with nativefier, to address https://github.com/jiahaog/nativefier/issues/207

Behavior

I tried to run the example code as a node script. This required me to install electron (which I installed locally). After that, I see the following error

/Applications/node_modules/electron-devtools-installer/dist/utils.js:27                                                                                                             [1/651]
  var savePath = (_electron.remote || _electron2.default).app.getPath('userData');
                                                              ^

Proposed fix

Given there’s just something wrong in my environment (I’m assuming I’m writing this code in wrong place) then it we could add a section to the documentation explaining where that code should be.

Extra info

FWIW, the result of (_electron.remote || _electron2.default) is a string path 😀

Call it inside of the app.on('ready') event listener.

app.on('ready', async () => {
  installDevtools(...)
  ...
});

[wmhilton]

Call it inside of the app.on(‘ready’) event listener.

That’s the magic puzzle piece that’s missing from the README! Thanks!
