在Linux / macOS上安装Electronic时出现问题

Question

i need to create an app using Angular and Electron. This app should work on Windows/macOs and Linux.

I tried to run it on Windows and it worked. But when i try on macOS or Linux, it fails...

Here is the output when i run with npm run electron :

Error: Electron failed to install correctly, please delete node_modules/electron and try installing again

In my package.json i created "electron": "ng build --base-href ./ && electron ." to run my app.

I tried to delete and re install, but it failed.. I tried to reinstall with : sudo npm install electron --verbose

npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE
npm ERR! errno 1

Build instructions for electron on linux, macOS and windows are different. To build for linux, as per the electron docs, follow these steps:

---

1. Make sure you have python 2.7.x installed on your system. You can check the version of python running on your os by running the command python -V .

2. Install nodejs. You can download the installer from here.

3. Since you've not mentioned the version of linux you're running, I'm assuming you're running Ubuntu. Install the following packages.

sudo apt-get install build-essential clang libdbus-1-dev libgtk-3-dev \
                   libnotify-dev libgnome-keyring-dev libgconf2-dev \
                   libasound2-dev libcap-dev libcups2-dev libxtst-dev \
                   libxss1 libnss3-dev gcc-multilib g++-multilib curl \
                   gperf bison python-dbusmock 

These were the very basic required steps to build electron on linux. You may need to install several other packages depending your system architecture, project dependencies etc.
