+# If you run it in dev mode first with:
+# npm run start
+# Then the app tries to connect to localhost:3000 instead of packaging the actual files when building with:
+#./node_modules/.bin/electron-builder
+
+# Therefore, first make sure the correct files are packaged with electron-forge like:
+./node_modules/.bin/electron-forge package

+export DEBUG=electron-builder

+# build more:
+#./node_modules/.bin/electron-builder -l appimage zip deb snap

+# NOTE: Don't use prepackage because the electron-builder will not add the tigervnc/ folder:
+#./node_modules/.bin/electron-builder --prepackaged  out/peerviewer-linux-x64/ -l appimage
