I've tried to install Electron with npm on my computer these days, and it's installation is successful, but when I tried to run Electron, I get an error.

Here are my commands in the Windows Terminal:

PS [user profile location]> npm install -g electron

added 91 packages in 7s
PS [user profile location]> electron
node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:959
  throw err;
  ^

Error: Cannot find module '[node js location]\node_modules\electron\cli.js'
    at Module._resolveFilename (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:956:15)

}

Try adding the command electron . on the package.json, like this

"scripts": {
  "start": "electron .",
},

then execute npm run start

    Thanks, I've tried that command too.But the same error still exists. – xzx7131 Aug 02 '22 at 05:03
  • @xzx7131 A made a little research and someone says that is a node misconfiguration, specifically with the node environment variable [StackOverflow link where read about it](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/24721903/npm-npm-cli-js-not-found-when-running-npm) – Hector David Rodriguez Aguilar Aug 02 '22 at 18:00

I have this same error too, I did a yarn install (npm install if you're using npm)

Once that finished I did yarn start or (npm start if you're using npm)

Here we go again
