  <p><a href="https://github.com/frankhale/electron-with-express" rel="noreferrer">https://github.com/frankhale/electron-with-express</a></p>
  
  <p>However, I was advised not to do so due to the GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE that they impose. I am trying to create a commercial app that will monetize. Hence, a liscene like MIT might do, but not sure about GNU.</p>
  
  <p>Anyhow, I have been trying to follow his procedure:

  <p>But is running into some issues.
  Heres what I have done so far.</p>
  
  <pre><code># Clone the Quick Start repository
  $ git clone https://github.com/electron/electron-quick-start
  
  # Go into the repository
  $ cd electron-quick-start
  
  # Install the dependencies and run
  $ npm install &amp;&amp; npm start
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Then to get express</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ express myapp
  $ cd myapp
  
  $ npm install
  renamed myapp to just app
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and now I am stuck at the part where i need to configure the electron <code>main.js</code> file or/and the render <code>index.html</code> file to link to the express app and have that run instead of the <code>index.html</code></p>
  
  <p>Any help would be appreciated.</p>
  
  <p>I am running on windows 10.</p>
