+ * To download NW.js binaries from a different place (for example, from live builds),

+ *    See https://nwjs.io/versions.json
+ * 2) Set nwSource to the directory with a folder for this version.
+ *    For example, if your binaries for each platform are at
+ *    https://dl.nwjs.io/live-build/nw50/20201223-162000/6a3f52427/v0.50.3/,

+ *    https://dl.nwjs.io/live-build/nw50/20201223-162000/6a3f52427/.
+ * 3) Set nwVersion to `undefined` so that nw-builder loads the needed version from
+ *    the created manifest and downloads it from a given source.
+ *
+ * For some reason, setting nwVersion to a specific version doesn't work, even with
+ * a custom manifest.
+ *
+ * Also note that you may need to clear the `ct-js/cache` folder.
