I have written the document for this in the SIMRacingApps Notes on Facebook. Here is the link, https://www.facebook.com/notes/simracingapps/electron-a-html-client-for-simracingapps/1196997937076853/.
If you want to use a different version of Electron than what I have bundled, these instructions will help you configure SRA to do that.
- First you can can download Electron versions from https://github.com/electron/electron/releases. You want to get the win32-x64 version. For example (electron-v8.1.1-win32-x64.zip). Electron will have multiple versions going at the same time and usually a beta release as well.
- Unzip the file somewhere on your hard drive and note the path of where that is. Usually if you unzip it in your downloads folder, it will create a folder under that. For example
c:\users\?????\downloads\electron-v8.1.1-win32-x64
- In the SRA settings.txt file, located in Documents\SIMRacingApps, add the following entry based on the path you unzipped the file to. Make sure all the backslashes are doubled.
electron-path = c:\\users\\?????\\downloads\\electron-v8.1.1-win32-x64\\electron.exe
