NAME

Alien::Electron - Download and install the electron GUI framework

DESCRIPTION

This package will download a zip file containing github's Electron GUI framework and will then install it into its private distribution share directory.

The location of the binary is stored in the $Alien::Electron::electron_binary variable:

    $ perl -MAlien::Electron -E 'say $Alien::Electron::electron_binary'
    /usr/local/share/perl/5.18.2/auto/share/dist/Alien-Electron/electron

Note that you may want to use the Valence module instead of accessing the electron binary directly.

BUGS

Need to get windows support working.
