This packager allows you to create native macOS and Windows installers for a CEP extension.
It takes a configuration file (it looks for it in the folder where you are running the command from) and a folder that contains the files that have to be packaged up (usually generated by cep-bundler
) as input.
The easiest way to use this package is to use the cep-starter
package, which already depends on the cep-packager
and has a default config.
However, you can also use this package standalone, for that, follow the instructions below:
- macOS
- node.js
- homebrew
- wine
- makensis
# install homebrew
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
# install makensis
brew install wine makensis
npm install --save cep-packager
- Copy the
cep-config.js
file from thecep-starter
package into you project folder. - Modify desired options
Run the packager:
./node_modules/.bin/cep-packager
Or, add to your package.json
's scripts section:
"scripts": {
"package": "cep-packager"
}
Then you can run the packager like this:
npm run package
Instead of using the cep-config.js
configuration file you can also use CLI arguments or environment variables.
For this, it is recommended to install cep-packager
globally like this:
npm install -g cep-packager
Basic example:
cep-packager \
--name testpackage \
--bundle-id com.test.testpackage \
--version 0.0.1 \
--macos-resources $PWD/resources/macos \
--windows-resources $PWD/resources/windows \
--macos-dest $PWD/0.0.1.pkg \
--windows-dest $PWD/0.0.1.exe \
./testpackage
Example with signing:
cep-packager \
--name testpackage \
--bundle-id com.test.testpackage \
--version 0.0.1 \
--macos-resources $PWD/resources/macos \
--windows-resources $PWD/resources/windows \
--macos-dest $PWD/0.0.1.pkg \
--windows-dest $PWD/0.0.1.exe \
--windows-cert path/to/cert.p12
--windows-cert-password passwordofp12file
--zxp-cert path/to/cert.p12
--zxp-cert-password passwordofp12file
--macos-keychain login.keychain
--macos-keychain-password loginkeychainpassword
--macos-identifier "Developer ID Installer: Your Name"
