Where Does Neutralino Store Config and Output?

Neutralinojs neutralino.config.json plus www output inside your project on each OS.

Last updated

Neutralinojs keeps config in neutralino.config.json at the project root. Web assets live in www, and built binaries land beside config or in dist depending on mode.

There is no global store. The folder is portable. CLI downloads the matching binaries on first run, so fresh clones need a neu update before build.

Where Neutralino stores this, by platform

Windows
[ProjectDir]\neutralino.config.json

Config at root, assets in [ProjectDir]\www\. Binaries cache in .tmp or dist by version. Keep config plus www in git; ignore binaries.

macOS
[ProjectDir]/neutralino.config.json

Same layout. App bundles form on neu build for the target triple. Moving machines needs only the repo plus CLI.

Linux
[ProjectDir]/neutralino.config.json

Same arrangement. System webview deps install separately; project files stay self contained. Exact output dir may vary by CLI version.

Which Neutralino files belong in git?

Commit config plus www sources. Ignore binaries and temp downloads. A fresh clone plus neu update reproduces the build env.
