Which installation scope should I use for Electron Builder?
Install Electron Builder as a development dependency. This keeps the build tool in your project’s devDependencies.
What should I look for after running `npm install electron-builder --save-dev`?
A successful install reports that packages were added and might include funding and vulnerability notices. Use this as confirmation to continue to the package.json changes.
Where do I configure builds for Arm64 and x64?
Edit the package.json file in your project folder. Add or update the Electron Builder configuration so it includes both Arm64 and x64 targets.
How do I know the build includes both architectures?
After updating package.json, run your build and check that artifacts are generated for both Arm64 and x64. If only one appears, review the targets configured in package.json.
The install output lists vulnerabilities and suggests `npm audit`. Do I need to fix this before proceeding?
The log might show vulnerability notices and recommend running npm audit. To complete the Learning Path, continue with configuration and application builds.
