You need to download ffmpeg and put it in the root directory of the project. If you don't need to build for arm processor, you can download ffmpeg by executing any of the files - linux.sh / mac.sh / windows.sh depending on the platform. Otherwise you need to download ffmpeg fromhere for windows/linux and fromhere for mac (not tested)

To build for Linux (It will create packages as specified in package.json). The builds are stored inrelease folder.

npm run linux

To build for Windows

npm run windows

To build for macOS

npm run mac

If you only want to build for one format, you can do

npx electron-builder -l appimage

It will just create a linux appimage build.
