Hi
thanks for this it's really useful. I can get the dev version running no problem, but when I try and package with npm run make I get the following error:

Preparing to Package Application for arch: x64
An unhandled rejection has occurred inside Forge:
{ Error: EEXIST: file already exists, mkdir '/var/folders/jh/7xh_52cx65566d0fhgf01z6h0000gn/T/electron-packager/darwin-x64-template'
  errno: -17,
  code: 'EEXIST',
  syscall: 'mkdir',
  path: '/var/folders/jh/7xh_52cx65566d0fhgf01z6h0000gn/T/electron-packager/darwin-x64-template' }

Electron Forge was terminated. Location:

I tried Googling, but couldn't find any similar problem. Any ideas?
Thanks

I updated npm and all packages and it now runs OK
