I just ran npm install -g @electron/build-tools on Arch LInux and got this error after rehashing in zsh and running e init --root=~/electron --bootstrap testing.

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

RossComputerGuy · 2020-08-30T17:43:01Z

A solution I came up with:

git clone https://github.com/electron/build-tools ~/.electron_build_tools && (cd ~/.electron_build_tools && npm install)

RossComputerGuy · 2020-08-30T17:45:17Z

I think the package should at least come with a bundled version of the build tools or install them.

MarshallOfSound · 2020-09-03T04:29:59Z

@RossComputerGuy Can you post the output of npm config ls --global. My guess is you have somehow disabled post-install scripts which is how the build-tools npm package sets up and bootstraps the tools

RossComputerGuy · 2020-09-03T04:39:15Z

; cli configs
global = true
metrics-registry = "https://registry.npmjs.org/"
scope = ""
user-agent = "npm/6.14.4 node/v14.9.0 linux x64"

MarshallOfSound · 2020-09-03T04:52:35Z

If you run npm i -g @electron/build-tools does it log any errors to console or otherwise indicate it is running a post-install script? You can run npm with --verbose to get silly logs.

Interesting, that looks like it worked. Can you try e --help to verify 🤔

RossComputerGuy · 2020-09-03T07:00:08Z

Seems to work

RossComputerGuy · 2020-09-03T07:01:32Z

I'll test again outside the environment I had set up for cross compiling electron

I seem to be having the same issue on a clean install of Ubuntu 18.04.5 and 20.04. Able to install @electron/build-tools without any issue but attempting to run 'e' fails with Error: Cannot find module '/home/vm/.electron_build_tools/src/e'

vm@vm:~$ npm config ls --global
; cli configs
global = true
metrics-registry = "https://registry.npmjs.org/"
scope = ""
user-agent = "npm/6.14.11 node/v14.16.0 linux x64"

; userconfig /home/vm/.npmrc
prefix = "/home/vm/.npm-global"

; node bin location = /usr/bin/node
; cwd = /home/vm
; HOME = /home/vm
; "npm config ls -l" to show all defaults.

r3use · 2021-04-10T20:51:59Z

Any update on this? I'm also into this issue.

dogeFu · 2021-07-18T13:12:36Z

Got this issue too.Turns out that I did not add Git to PATH.Better to have some log about this...

levitemkin · 2022-01-18T17:56:10Z

I also have this issue. I've tried npm i -g, but when I try to run e, it looks in my home directory instead of in /usr/lib:

[levi@arch-vm build-tools]$ e init --help

Node.js v17.3.0

Installing a copy in my user's home directory seems to have resolved the issue.

I also suffered this issue. And I found out that

uninstalling build-tools from npm
install yarn
install build-tools again

resolved my issue.
If other people confirms that it is resolved by installing yarn, I suggests to modify README.md to state yarn to be 'must install' rather than 'recommend installing'.

This worked for me. Just did a brew install yarn and ran the install again. Works now!

Found how to install so here's a little tutorial:
run sudo npm i -g @electron/build-tools
create directory at ~/.electron_build_tools (mkdir ~/.electron_build_tools)
and go to it in your terminal (cd ~/.electron_build_tools)
do git clone https://github.com/electron/build-tools/ and copy the content of the folder created (build-tools) to .electron_build_tools. and Voila here's your electron build tool !
