+## Debug
+
+Set the `DEBUG` environment variable to debug what electron-builder is doing:
+```bash
+DEBUG=electron-builder
+```
+
+`FPM_DEBUG` env to add more details about building linux targets (except snap and appimage).
+
+`DEBUG_DMG=true` env var to add more debugging/verbosity from `hdiutil` (macOS).
+
+!!! tip "cmd"
+    On [Windows](https://github.com/visionmedia/debug#windows-command-prompt-notes) the environment variable is set using the set command.
+    ```bash
+    set DEBUG=electron-builder
+    ```
+
+!!! tip "PowerShell"
+    PowerShell uses different syntax to set environment variables.
+    ```bash
+    $env:DEBUG=electron-builder
