title: How To Compile An Electron Application To A .exe
body: <p>I've been learning how to create applications in <a href="http://electron.atom.io/" rel="noreferrer">Electron</a> and I need help compiling a simple project to a Windows executable. The program is a clone from this Github repo: <a href="https://github.com/electron/electron-quick-start" rel="noreferrer">https://github.com/electron/electron-quick-start</a>. On the repo readme it shows how to run the program:</p>
  
  <pre><code># Clone this repository
  git clone https://github.com/electron/electron-quick-start
  # Go into the repository
  cd electron-quick-start
  # Install dependencies
  npm install
  # Run the app
  npm start
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This works fine, but I can't figure out how to simply compile it. I've looked all over google, you would think that something as simple as deploying an application would be well known information. </p>
