I was trying to create a Proton Native App using "create-proton-app new-App" but it fails with a bunch of errors

Question

I cannot create a new proton application.

Command $ create-proton-app new-App gives following utput:

Creating a new Proton Native app on /home/xxxxx/new-App

Installing packages... This may take a few minutes. 

...

An error ocurred: 
 npm install has failed.

===========================================

Looks like the version of libisl that proton wants and the version that is already installed are creating an issue. Is it so. How I can resolve my issue?

I was getting similar issues. What I did instead was follow the manual installation procedure as below:

1. Install proton native

npm i -S proton-native

2. Install 3rd party dependencies

npm install --save-dev babel-cli babel-preset-env babel-preset-stage-0 babel-preset-react

3. Configure .babelrc*

{
    "presets": [
      "env",
      "stage-0",
      "react"
    ]
}

4. Add startup scripts to package.json

...
  "scripts": {
    "start": "babel-node index.js",
    "build": "babel index.js -d bin/",
    "pack": "electron-builder --dir",
    "dist": "electron-builder"
  },
...
