title: How to run packaged electron app on linux?
body: <p>I haven't used Linux much but I'm trying to run an application which I've packaged using electron-packager.</p>
  
  <p>So while on Linux, I can run <code>npm start</code> and my app works fine. But when I  package it, there doesn't seem to be an installer or anything. Packaging and running on Windows work fine.</p>
  
  <p>I packaged using:</p>
  
  <pre><code>npm run package-linux
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Edit as requested:</p>
  
  <p>I'm using Linux mint-19.1-cinnamon-64bit.</p>
  
  <p>The package script I used is;</p>
  
  <pre><code>"package-linux": "electron-packager . electron-tutorial-app --overwrite --asar=true --platform=linux --arch=x64 --icon=assets/icons/png/icon.png --prune=true --out=release-builds"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Running the <code>npm run package-linux</code> completes successfully and produces a folder called <code>electron-tutorial-app-linux-x64</code> in a release-builds folder.</p>
