 For certain NuGet packages or certain scenarios you may want to build a pure x86 application. To support those things you can define the desired [.NET Core runtime](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/rid-catalog), the [electron platform](https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-packager/blob/master/docs/api.md#platform) and [electron architecture](https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-packager/blob/master/docs/api.md#arch) like this:
