    Create a release build of Signal-Desktop from https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Desktop

    git clone https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Desktop.git
cd Signal-Desktop

    checkout the current stable version (1.5.2 as of writing this)

    git checkout v1.5.2

    Then run this script.

    After a successful build there is a release folder within the Signal-Desktop directory which looks like this:

    release
├── linux-unpacked
├── electron-builder.yaml
├── signal-desktop_1.5.2_amd64.deb
└── signal-desktop-1.5.2.zip
