# electron-quick-start-typescript
**Clone and run for a quick way to see Electron in action.**
This is a typescript port of the [Electron Quick Start repo](https://github.com/electron/electron-quick-start) -- a minimal Electron application based on the [Quick Start Guide](http://electron.atom.io/docs/tutorial/quick-start) within the Electron documentation.
**Use this app along with the [Electron API Demos](http://electron.atom.io/#get-started) app for API code examples to help you get started.**
A basic Electron application needs just these files:
- `package.json` - Points to the app's main file and lists its details and dependencies.
- `main.ts` - Starts the app and creates a browser window to render HTML. This is the app's **main process**.
- `index.html` - A web page to render. This is the app's **renderer process**.
You can learn more about each of these components within the [Quick Start Guide](http://electron.atom.io/docs/tutorial/quick-start).
## To Use
To clone and run this repository you'll need [Git](https://git-scm.com) and [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/download/) (which comes with [npm](http://npmjs.com)) installed on your computer. From your command line:
```bash
# Clone this repository
git clone https://github.com/electron/electron-quick-start-typescript
# Go into the repository
cd electron-quick-start-typescript
# Install dependencies
npm install
# Run the app
npm start
```
Note: If you're using Linux Bash for Windows, [see this guide](https://www.howtogeek.com/261575/how-to-run-graphical-linux-desktop-applications-from-windows-10s-bash-shell/) or use `node` from the command prompt.
## Re-compile automatically
To recompile automatically and to allow using [electron-reload](https://github.com/yan-foto/electron-reload), run this in a separate terminal:
```bash
npm run watch
```
