electron-installer-dmg fails when output path doesn't exist

[jdell64]

I have an npm script:

"installer:osx": "electron-installer-dmg ./builds/releases/$npm_package_version/$npm_package_productName-darwin-x64/$npm_package_productName.app $npm_package_productName-$npm_package_version --out=builds/installer/osx/$npm_package_version",

Which should create a path similar to:

~/myProject/builds/installer/osx/0.0.1/myApp-0.0.1.dmg

but this fails when any part of the folder path does not exist. Other tools like electron-packager auto create paths. Should this one auto create the output path?
