Failed at the electron@1.8.2 postinstall script

问题

I was trying to install electron into my project, but it is giving an error. I also tried to do this with unsafe-perm, but still giving the same error.

npm install electron --save-dev --save-exact

> electron@1.8.2 postinstall E:\PrgLang\Electron\crypto-app\node_modules\electron
> node install.js

回答1:

Can you please try(after removing node_modules)

sudo npm install electron --save-dev --save-exact --unsafe-perm=true --allow-root

I was running into the same error and this is what worked for me.

回答2:

According to this GitHub issue it could potentially be solved with one of the following actions:

remove the node_modules folder and run npm install again
rename the SHASUM file in your user home directory's .electron folder
