Enabling your application to receive automatic updates is a super nice feature to have, but know that [**Code Signing**](https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-builder/wiki/Code-Signing) is required. You can setup code signing by adding a few more environment variables based on what `electron-builder` needs described [here](https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-builder/wiki/Code-Signing). Once you have your certificates setup, you can then install `electron-updater` and comment out the chunk of code at the bottom of `src/main/index.js` to enable auto updating.

If you are like most people and don't have a fancy code signing certificate, then you can always use the GitHub API to check for new releases. When a new release is found, provide a notification within your application to point users to a download page where they can download and install the new build. Thanks to the amazing installer that `electron-builder` provides, user's do not have to uninstall the current version and the new installation will replace the old while still persisting any web storage or `userData` files.
