无法执行npm启动

Question

I have setup a vagrant virtual machine and installed nodejs (v 6.9.1) and npm (v 4.0.0). Cloned a nodejs app with git clone and executed npm install command in root folder as well as app folder. However when I try to start the app via npm start , it fails

Stack:

vagrant@vagrant-ubuntu-trusty-64:~/work/newair/app$ npm start -verbose
npm info it worked if it ends with ok
npm verb cli [ '/usr/bin/nodejs', '/usr/bin/npm', 'start', '-verbose' ]

After discussing through the comments, it seems that the electron package is not installed.

You can install locally by running npm install --save electron , use the --save flag to write it's definition inside your package.json file.

If you want it to be global, you can run npm install -g electron , you'll be able to execute it anywhere else on your machine.
