Getting Started with Electron

This sample template should help you get started with ElectronJS, this is down to the basics as you can get to start an app.

Requirements

When working with Electron, you need NodeJS and a code editor. Then, you'll need to use a package manager. Using something like Yarn is recommended. If you work with a lot of apps, then use PNPM to save on disk space, although this is not compatible with all pacakges.
