+# Application distribution
+
+To distribute your app with atom-shell, you should name the folder of your app
+as `app`, and put it under atom-shell's resources directory (on OS X it is
+`Atom.app/Contents/Resources/`, and on Linux and Windows it is `resources/`),
+like this:
+
+On Mac OS X:
+
+```text
+atom-shell/Atom.app/Contents/Resources/app/
+├── package.json
+├── main.js
+└── index.html
+```
+
+On Windows and Linux:
+
+```text
+atom-shell/resources/app
+├── package.json
+├── main.js
+└── index.html
+```
+
+Then execute `Atom.app` (or `atom` on Linux, and `atom.exe` on Window), and
+atom-shell will start as your app. The `atom-shell` directory would then be
+your distribution that should be delivered to final users.
+
+## Build with grunt
+
+If you build your application with `grunt`, then there is a grunt task that can
+download atom-shell for current platform automatically:
+[grunt-download-atom-shell](https://github.com/atom/grunt-download-atom-shell).
## Run your app
After done writing your app, you could create a distribution of your app by
-following next section and then execute the packaged binary, or you can just
-use the downloaded atom-shell binary to execute your app.
+following the [Application distribution](./application-distribution.md) guide
+and then execute the packaged app, or you can just use the downloaded atom-shell
+binary to execute your app directly.
On Window:
```bash
$ ./Atom.app/Contents/MacOS/Atom app
```

-## Distribute your app
-
-To distribute your app with atom-shell, you should name the folder of your app
-as `app`, and put it under atom-shell's resources directory (on OS X it is
-`Atom.app/Contents/Resources/`, and on Linux and Windows it is `resources/`),
-like this:
-
-```text
-Atom.app/Contents/Resources/app/
-├── package.json
-├── main.js
-└── index.html

-Then execute `Atom.app` (or `atom` on Linux, and `atom.exe` on Window), and
-atom-shell will start as your app.
