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.
