Electron-packager: How to reduce package size

[Devhercule]

Hi,

Is there a possibility to reduce the package size?

Using electron-packager, the size of the result package is 280 Mb?

Is that normal?

Thanks

This is normal. From the README:

Note that packaged Electron applications can be relatively large. A zipped, minimal Electron
application is approximately the same size as the zipped prebuilt binary for a given target
platform, target arch, and Electron version
(files named electron-v${version}-${platform}-${arch}.zip).
