npm run electron

or to launch electron with devtools open

npm run electron:devtools

Frontend

To spawn frontend dev server simply cd into frontend, install and launch the dev script

cd frontend
npm install
npm run dev

Build

Launching the electron build will first build the frontend before being packaged to an electron application.

npm run build

The build step is managed by the electron-builder library. To configure the build step, refer to it's documentation.
