Installation

dotnet add package Fable.Electron

There are 3 packages available on nuget. All packages compile with Fable, so there's no need to have separate projects/dependencies (as is the case with other stacks using Fable.Remoting) unless you want to!

Required

Fable.Electron​

These are the bindings to electron.

dotnet add package Fable.Electron
Semver

The downloaded Major and Minor version mirror the electron version they were generated from!

The patch is increased not just by a new electron patch, but also with our own changes.

If you have Fable.Electron version 39.2.x, then you should install the corresponding electron version.


Ancillary Packages
