Conveyor makes distributing desktop and command line apps as easy as shipping a web app.

The newest version!

# Conveyor

[Conveyor](https://www.hydraulic.dev) is an easier and more powerful alternative to Electron Forge/Builder/Installer. It can build 
self-updating packages for all desktop operating systems from any OS, can do background and forced-on-launch updates and has many other
useful features.

## Get started

Conveyor can be downloaded and installed independently (it's packaged with itself), or you can:

    npm install -g @hydraulic/conveyor

then run something like:

    conveyor generate electron com.example.hello-world

or

    conveyor generate electron io.github.username.project

to get a scaffolded app. Then follow the instructions in the [tutorial](https://conveyor.hydraulic.dev/latest/tutorial/hare/electron).
