If you have installed it locally with:

npm install -g electron-packager

You can also get it through:

"node_modules/electron-packager/cli.js" . --all --asar

After All, if you don't get it working, install electron-packager. Then, go to your package.json. And beneath your start scripts. Make another string named "build" and give it a value of the electron-packager command you want to run:

...
    "scripts": {
    "start": "electron .",
    "build": "electron-packager . --asar --all"
  },
...

Then, go in command prompt or terminal or bash. Then, type:

npm run build
