Hi @petervandeput, you can use electron-builder for distribution.

npm i -D electron-builder

After that, you can create scripts in package.json like this:

"script": {
     "mac:build": "electron-builder --macos --dir",
     "build:windows": "electron-builder --win --dir"
}

It will create a directory called dist with program-name.app and if you want to create *.dmg file, you must execute electron-builder --macos.

I hope that it can help you.
