Creating an installer on Mac and Windows

To create on mac is Very easy

1.) run yarn to install dependencies

yarn

3.) run our bundle script

yarn bundle

2.) run our mac distribution script

yarn dist-mac

This will place a dist folder at the root of your local repo.

NOTE: If the electron-builder package is not set to version "electron-builder": "24.0.0" or greater, the build will fail.

1. Install Dependencies

   • Run the following command to install dependencies:

     yarn

2. Bundle the App

Installing on Mac and Windows

Mac

Installing ODA

Command Line Installation:

• Open the command line interface, navigate to the installer directory and run the following command:

  installer.exe PAC=yourPersonalAccessCode /S
  

  • Replace yourPersonalAccessCode with your actual PAC.
  • The /S switch installs the application silently, bypassing the installer UI, which is typically used for per-machine installations.

2. Registry Information:
   • Your PAC will be stored in the registry:
     • Per-User Installations: Stored in HKCU (HKEY_CURRENT_USER)
     • Per-Machine Installations: Stored in HKLM (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE)
