A basic Electron app consists of three files: <code>package.json</code> (metadata), <code>main.js</code> (code) and <code>index.html</code> ([[graphical user interface]]). The framework is provided by the Electron [[executable]] file (<code>electron.exe</code> in [[Windows]], <code>electron.app</code> on [[macOS]] and <code>electron</code> on [[Linux]]). Developers wishing to add branding and custom [[Icon (computing)|icon]] can rename and/or edit the Electron executable file.
