Why does the installation fail?

Question

JavaScript

When installing Electron on Ubuntu, the following errors occur:

npm ERR! argv "/usr/bin/nodejs" "/usr/bin/npm" "install" "electron"
npm ERR! node v4.2.6
npm ERR! npm  v3.5.2
npm ERR! file sh
npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE
npm ERR! errno ENOENT
npm ERR! syscall spawn

npm ERR! [email protected] postinstall: `node install.js`

Why is this happening?

Answer 1

MB The version of the node you have is not the same? Try to install NVM and install node 6.5+

Answer 2

Perhaps the node -> nodejs symlink is missing. Tip: install the latest version from here: https://github.com/nodesource/distributions. Well, or through NVM, yes.
