Electron mksnapshot

Simple node module to download the mksnapshot binaries compatible with Electron for creating v8 snapshots.

This minor version of this library tracks the minor version of the Electron versions released. So if you are using Electron 1.4.x you would want to use an electron-mksnapshot dependency of ~1.4.0 in your package.json file.

Using

npm install --save-dev electron-mksnapshot
mksnapshot --help
