# Electron [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/azawawi/perl6-electron.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/azawawi/perl6-electron) [![Build status](https://ci.appveyor.com/api/projects/status/github/azawawi/perl6-electron?svg=true)](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/azawawi/perl6-electron/branch/master)

The goal is to write cross-platform Perl 6 desktop applications using
JavaScript, HTML and CSS on top of the [Electron](https://github.com/atom/electron) platform. It is based on [io.js](http://iojs.org) and [Chromium](http://www.chromium.org) and is used in
the [Atom editor](https://github.com/atom/atom).

```
$ zef install Electron
```

### Dependencies

```
$ sudo apt-get install nodejs
```
- Install pre-built electron for your platform using the following command
line:
```
$ sudo npm install electron -g
```

After a successful installation, electron should be installed in
``/usr/local/bin/electron``.

#### Windows

If that fails, please download the correct electron platform from
https://github.com/atom/electron/releases. and make sure that ```electron```
can be called from the command line.

- Install the installer from https://nodejs.org/
- Install pre-built electron for your platform using the following command
line:
```
$ npm install electron -g
```

After a success installation, electron should be installed in
``%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\npm\electron.cmd``
