# Distributing Apps With Electron Forge | ||
|
||
Electron Forge is a tool for packaging and publishing Electron applications. | ||
It unifies Electron's build tooling ecosystem into | ||
a single extensible interface so that anyone can jump right into making Electron apps. | ||
|
||
## Getting started | ||
|
||
The [Electron Forge docs] contain detailed information on taking your application | ||
from source code to your end users' machines. | ||
This includes: | ||
|
||
* Packaging your application [(package)] | ||
* Generating executables and installers for each OS [(make)], and, | ||
* Publishing these files to online platforms to download [(publish)]. | ||
|
||
For beginners, we recommend following through Electron's [tutorial] to develop, build, | ||
package and publish your first Electron app. If you have already developed an app on your machine | ||
and want to start on packaging and distribution, start from [step 5] of the tutorial. | ||
|
||
## Getting help | ||
|
||
* If you need help with developing your app, our [community Discord server][discord] is a great place | ||
to get advice from other Electron app developers. | ||
* If you suspect you're running into a bug with Forge, please check the [GitHub issue tracker] | ||
to see if any existing issues match your problem. If not, feel free to fill out our bug report | ||
template and submit a new issue. | ||
