Yes, look up the json structure in the electron-builder documentation. I can post an example later.

@mazm786 look it up. It's all documented in the link. I included the basic structure because the documentation in my mind is unclear on the basic structure of where the main linux and deb nodes live.

deb support is built into electron. Electron.NET inherits the functionality so we've had it from first release. electron-builder is the electron repo I linked to that performs the functionality of building an electron app/installer

by the way, that json structure for Electron.Net resides in the electron.manifest.json. We use that file as it acts as a template.
