Introduction

LaunchUI is a launcher for GUI Node.js applications using libui-node. LaunchUI Packager is a tool for creating packages based on LaunchUI for Windows, Linux and OS X.

LaunchUI Packager GUI is a desktop application which simplifies creating LaunchUI packages without using custom scripts. It stores all package settings in a file called lanuchui.json in the project directory and makes it possible to build packages for the selected platform and architecture.
