Recently, We are building a software for those with speech problems. We have used Electron.js for this software.

Specially, ElectronReact boilerplate made easier to getting started with electron.js. ElectronReact provides auto updater with their boilerplate.

It gives github provider to auto-update new version releases.

You just have to configure in `package.json`. Github token is require to upload on Github repo. Check below screenshot.

Change in “package” script command from `never` to `always` .

Now, when you run `yarn package` command, it will create a package and upload release as draft on your github repository and you will see something like this on Github repo. You just have to publish this draft release.

Cool! now your software will check for new releases automatically and if new release found, it will download and update automatically.

**For Mac, you need to sign the software to get it updated automatically otherwise it won’t allows to update automatically.**
