Build the package before first run and after any changes:

Then, start the application:

If you get 'Hello, world!' with some clicky buttons, all's working:

Development vs production builds

The package.json file contains both the dev (sdk) and production builds of nw.js. This is to allow developer tools (F12) along with other stuff useful for debugging purposes. When setting up for production, remove nwjs_build_type=sdk from .npmrc. Then, instead of using npm install, use npm install --only=prod. Note that switching between dev and prod requires that you delete your node_modules directory first.

Notes

If for some reason the build fails, start by remove the carets (^) in front of the version numbers in package.json as an initial troubleshooting step. Once you're sure it's not a version problem, restore the carets as version locking often leads to major security issues in production. Remember to check your project for known issues with npm audit fix.
