# update-electron-app > A drop-in module that adds autoUpdating capabilities to Electron apps Powered by the free and open-source [update.electronjs.org](https://update.electronjs.org) service.  ## Requirements Before using this module, make sure your Electron app meets these criteria: - Your app runs on macOS or Windows - Your app has a public GitHub repository - Your builds are published to GitHub Releases - Your builds are [code signed] ## Installation ```sh npm i update-electron-app ``` ## Usage Drop this anywhere in your main process: ```js require('update-electron-app')() ``` That's it! Here's what happens by default: - Repository URL is found in your app's `package.json` file. - Your app will check for updates at startup, then every ten minutes. This interval is [configurable](#API). - No need to wait for your app's `ready` event; the module figures that out. - If an update is found, it will automatically be downloaded in the background. - When an update is finished downloading, a dialog is displayed allowing the user to restart the app now or later. You can also specify custom options: ```js require('update-electron-app')({ repo: 'github-user/repo', updateInterval: '1 hour', logger: require('electron-log') }) ``` ## API ### `update(options)` Options: - `repo` String (optional) - A GitHub repository in the format `owner/repo`. Defaults to your `package.json`'s `"repository"` field - `host` String (optional) - Defaults to `https://update.electronjs.org` - `updateInterval` String (optional) - How frequently to check for updates. Defaults to `10 minutes`. Minimum allowed interval is `5 minutes`. - `logger` Object (optional) - A custom logger object that defines a `log` function. Defaults to `console`. See [electron-log](https://github.com/megahertz/electron-log), a module that aggregates logs from main and renderer processes into a single file. - `notifyUser` Boolean (optional) - Defaults to `true`. When enabled the user will be prompted to apply the update immediately after download. ## FAQ #### What kinds of assets do I need to build? For macOS, you'll need to build a `.zip` file and include it in your GitHub Release. Use [electron-forge] or [electron-installer-zip] to package your app as a zip. For Windows, you'll need to build a `.exe` file and include it in your GitHub Release. #### Why is my app launching multiple times? Windows apps have an update process that requires multiple application restarts. You can use the [electron-squirrel-startup](https://github.com/mongodb-js/electron-squirrel-startup) module to improve this behavior. #### Can I use this module by uploading my private app's builds to a public GitHub repository? Yes :) ## License MIT ## See Also If your app is packaged with `electron-builder`, you may not need this module. Builder has its own built-in mechanism for updating apps.
