`Configuration
This module is intended to be used with node-pre-gyp. Therefore, be sure to configure and install node-pre-gyp first. After having done that, within update the binary properties host and remote_path so it matches the following format:`json
"host": "https://github.com/[owner]/[repo]/releases/download/",
"remote_path": "{version}"
`Be sure to replace
, [repo], with actual values,
but DO NOT replace {version} with actual version.WARNING: Variable substitutions are not supported on the
`host` property and on the `remote_path` only `{version}` placeholder is supported. The value of `remote_path` after substitution will become a release tag name. Do not use forbidden git tag characters for `version` and `remote_path` properties.Within GitHub, create a new authorization:
1. go to Settings
2. click Personal access tokens
3. click Generate new token
4. Select "public_repo" and "repo_deployment"
5. Generate Token
