Development guide

System specific dependencies
Linux

$ sudo apt-get install build-essential libxext-dev libxtst-dev libxkbfile-dev
Installation
Clone the source locally:
$ git clone https://github.com/zulip/zulip-electron
$ cd zulip-electron
Install project dependencies:
$ npm install
Start the app:
$ npm start
Start and watch changes
$ npm run dev
Making a release
To package app into an installer use command:
npm run dist
It will start the packaging process for operating system you are running this command on. Ready for distribution file (e.g. dmg, windows installer, deb package) will be outputted to dist directory.
You can create Windows installer only when running on Windows, the same is true for Linux and OSX. So to generate all three installers you need all three operating systems.
