Electron-Hello-World is a simple application built using Electron, an open-source framework developed by GitHub. This application serves as a basic template for starting Electron projects and demonstrates how to create a minimalistic "Hello World" desktop application.

• Displays a minimalist window with a "Hello, World!" message.
• Provides a foundation for building more complex Electron applications.

1. Clone the repository to your local machine:

   git clone https://github.com/your-username/Electron-Hello-World.git

2. Navigate into the project directory:

   cd Electron-Hello-World

3. Install dependencies using npm:

   npm install

Once the installation is complete, you can run the Electron-Hello-World application by executing the following command in your terminal

npm start

This will launch the Electron application, displaying the "Hello, World!" message in a new window.
