Problem installing electron on Linux/macOS
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

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.
For complete build instructions, follow the electron docs. Here I leave you with some links.

2. Build Instructions for macOS

Then follow the build instructions in the links. And update the question with more relevant info, like linux distribution, platform architecure, nodejs version etc.
