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

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.
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
The postinstall script of Electron is downloading a binary from a non-npm domain (possibly github.com), for which the proxy may not be configured.

Please could I ask for help with the following:
I have cloned the Electron starter app like so:
git clone https://github.com/electron/electron-quick-start
And have it running.
I am working from the terminal window is VSCode.
I am using node version 6.13.4
Can type "npm start" and all is good, app runs fine.
Now, I want to use a certain package for working with zip files, so I try the following:
npm install decompress-zip
The result is ultimately an error, here's the output:
PS C:\Work\Electron Apps\electron-quick-start-added-fs-and-zip> npm install decompress-zip

Makes no difference now if I run "npm uninstall decompress-zip", I still get the same error when I try "npm start".
This line from the above caught my eye:
npm ERR! Failed at the electron#16.0.5
If I start completely over an try installing another package instead like so:
npm install yauzl
I get similar errors including the line:
npm ERR! Failed at the electron#16.0.5 postinstall script.
I currently have electron 8.1.1 installed
Could it be that these packages require electron 16?
Or is it something else?
If it is the former, would anyone know of a solution for unzipping a disk file using an older version of electron?
Thanks for any help.
the best way is to update Node.js. Uninstall old version then go to https://nodejs.org/en/download/ and download LTC version

How would I go about solving this issue?
This error is saying that create-react-app already exists. Try running create-react-app.

I'm using MacOS Mojave 10.14.5. When I run 'npm run dev' command where the nuxt starter package is located, I have 'fsevents' error, and the server doesn't work.
I already reinstall node and npm several times, but it doesn't work.
Here's an error:

How can I run this nuxt.js server without this error?
It's a problem with fs events, and a rather annoying one at that. Specifically this happens when you're using Node 12.
You'll need to install fsevents#1.2.9 explicitly:
npm i fsevents#1.2.9 -D
or
yarn add fsevents#1.2.9 -D
This should work for you at this point.

this is bug and a workaround is provided on github : Source
Here is the workaround:
rm -rf ~/.electron/
rm -rf ~/.atom/
npm cache clear
npm install
I was facing a similar issue. But opening the command prompt as administrator (Windows) and reinstalling electron fixed the issue.
