## Publish to npm
Once the publish is successful, run `npm run publish-to-npm` to publish to
release to npm.
Before publishing to npm, you'll need to log into npm as Electron. Optionally,
you may find [npmrc](https://www.npmjs.com/package/npmrc) to be a useful way
to keep Electron's profile side-by-side with your own:
```sh
$ sudo npm install -g npmrc
$ npmrc -c electron
Removing old .npmrc (default)
Activating .npmrc "electron"
```
The Electron account's credentials are stored in LastPass under the entry
"Electron - NPM" for the URL "https://www.npmjs.com/login".
```sh
$ npm login
Username: electron
Password:
Email: (this IS public) electron@github.com
```
Publish the release to npm.
```sh
$ npm whoami
electron
$ npm run publish-to-npm
```
