Building the application
conda activate env-electron-python
cd ./src
npm run python-onefile-build-win
# To build only
npm run build-win
# To build and publish
npm run deploy-win
Ensure that the api.spec file in the root of the repository has a binaries path set to your anaconda3 installation directory. If it doesn't, manually change the binaries path to your anaconda3 installation directory. Then run the python-onefile-build-win command.
On Windows, after running the npm run python-onefile-build-win command, make sure the pyzmq.libs folder is included in pysodadist/api before going on with packaging the app. If not, make a copy of the pyzmq.libs folder from C:\your_account\Anaconda3\envs\{environment name}\Lib\site-packages and paste it in the pysodadist/api folder.
If the above python packaging fails, try the following PyInstaller command to create your python one file build:
cd ./src
# To package the python server
python -m PyInstaller pysoda/api.py --distpath pysodadist --add-binary "path\\to\\anaconda3\\envs\\env-electron-python\\Lib\\site-packages\\pyzmq.libs\\*;pyzmq.libs" --onefile --clean
# Then continue with the rest of the packaging process
# To build only
npm run build-win
# To build and publish
npm run deploy-win
conda activate env-electron-python
cd ./src
npm run python-onefile-build
# To build only
npm run build-mac
# To build and publish
npm run deploy-mac
conda activate env-electron-python
cd ./src
npm run python-onefile-build
# To build only
npm run build-linux
# To build and publish
npm run deploy-linux
Package electron app
You can use the predefined build script to create a release for the app.
- Windows:
npm run build-win
- MAC:
npm run build-mac
- Linux:
npm run build-linux
If there are any errors, please check your build settings in the package.json. For more information regarding the build process and all the possible configuration options please refer to electron-builder documentation.
