How to create desktop application using Angular 2

Question

Is it possible to create Desktop(Windows OS) application using Angular 2?

If yes then how can we build setup for desktop? Will it support windows 7 and Earlier?

I noticed that, Angular 2 is for cross platform.

You can try using Electron (by GitHub): http://electron.atom.io/

Here an example using Electron + Angular 2: https://auth0.com/blog/2015/12/15/create-a-desktop-app-with-angular-2-and-electron/

Electron is your best bet for cross platform. But if you only need to support Windows you can create an Angular2 Universal Windows App https://github.com/preboot/angular2-universal-windows-app – Martin Jul 29 '16 at 10:19

you have 2 options

1) Node web Kit - NWJS

2) ElectronJS - Electron

Both are helps to develop Cross Platform Application combination of NodeJS+Chromium Browser can support 3rd parties libraies.. so you develop web app like Desktop using these 2 for all 3 platforms(Linux, Mac, Windows)
