Electron-builder - how to run a script after/before installing an app

Question

I have an application written in Electron which uses electron-builder. I want to package the app for Linux (Ubuntu and maybe others too) and Mac. But when the application is installing I also need to run a script used to install some third party software.

For Windows (nsis) I know that there is a configuration: "include": "installer.nsh".

Is there something similar for Linux / Mac that I can use to do this ? Thanks in advance !

I also asked on GitHub. The answer was:

For AppImage not possible. For mac DMG not possible.

You can use alternative formats, but I just recommend you to install required software on first run.
