### how2build

2. you open a terminal in vscode, and type the following commands
you open a terminal in vscode, and type the following commands
```npm i```
TODO: complete this
```$(npm bin)/electron-rebuild```
(Windows 10+ users) To run, use the following command
```npm start```
If you are wondering why you can only test this on windows 10 without packaging, it is because [electron added ESM support in electron 28](https://www.electronjs.org/blog/electron-28-0#highlights), not 22.
If you happen to be a windows 8.1 and under user, you can still test this, but you have to package the build using electron-builder, just run the following:
```npx electron-builder```
get yourself a copy of [the special electron](https://github.com/e3kskoy7wqk/Electron-for-windows-7) , after that go into the dist > win-unpackaged > resources, grab the asar file, and put it in [your special electron](https://github.com/e3kskoy7wqk/Electron-for-windows-7) (same thing, except it's in that one's resources folder)
Sadly, you do have to package the asar everytime, but oh well, it's whatever at the very least you can build on your OS
