Oomph, you’re compiling on an M1? Can you double check that dmg-license is present in your node_modules? The module should be found, it’s listed in electron-builder’s dependencies as well https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-builder/blob/c623279a31d3d203ad1f150d83905a7e1f58a731/package.json#L39-L41 https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-builder/blob/c623279a31d3d203ad1f150d83905a7e1f58a731/packages/dmg-builder/package.json#L23-L25 IIRC it’s marked optional in the dmg-builder package.json because it only works on mac
