How to Successfully and Efficiently Install SQLite3 in Electron-Forge?

Question

How can I install and run sqlite3 with the electron-forge app? Whenever I try to create a new project and add sqlite3, there are always missing dependencies and errors.

I've tried installing it with npm install sqlite3 --build-from-source , but after that, when I start the application it breaks and reports missing dependencies all over the place. After installing them it works, but the package and make are broken with the following error:

> electron-forge package

npm install --save-dev electron-rebuild npm install --save-dev electron-prebuilt .\\node_modules\\.bin\\electron-rebuild.cmd I have tried, that worked. But after rebuild, my electron version change to v1.1+，and I can't use "async" because node version is lower then 7.0。 If you don't care whether to use ES7，try this way.
