# Ng2-Electron-Builder > Electron boilerplate based on [angular.io](https://angular.io/), [angular-cli](https://cli.angular.io/), [electron-package](https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-packager),[electron-builder](https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-builder) to package a angular application into desktop application and creating installer wizard

Note

Deployed and Tested under Win10. If you wish to collaborate test with other OS-Platforms.

This project is under development for integrate the news angular updates and include pro tips.

The angular-cli is now in beta, this project too.

If you wish to collaborate while the project is still young, check out our issue list.

Prerequisites

angular-cli for mor info please visit angular-cli

npm install angular-cli -g

If you use the electron into angular code like this src example, make the npm link of my angular-cli folk

git clone https://github.com/vilarone/angular-cli.git
cd angular-cli
npm link
cd ..

I make a pull request to angular-cli project #3346 to solve this.

npm link angular-cli

# run electron application
