+# Launcher build tool
+
+`install.ps1` downloads a portable Node.js 20 LTS into `node/` and runs the
+full build pipeline (`npm install --ignore-scripts`, Electron binary install,
+`electron-builder install-app-deps`, `npm run build`, `npm run pack`).
+
+Use this instead of a global Node install to avoid the ClangCL / Node version
+issues documented in the repo root `BUILD.md`.
+
+```powershell
+cd Tools\launcher
+.\install.ps1
+```
+
+Output: `dist\OctoLauncher.exe` (portable) and `dist\OctoLauncher_Installer.exe` (NSIS).
+
+The `node/` directory is gitignored — it is recreated by `install.ps1`.
