require('SOLVED'); [Electron Quick Start Issue] TypeError: Cannot read property 'on' of undefined

I was following Writing Your First Electron App https://electronjs.org/docs/tutorial/first-app I got the error as titled. I searched and a solution is found at https://github.com/electron/electron-quick_start/issues/107 Replace script with "scripts" :{"test" :"electron . ", "start" :"electron . "} I edited package.JSON accordingly, but the error is still there 👉👈

You can set path environment variables. Node sets itself during setup. You can exec command "node" in any location (globally)

Better way to use windows command prompt, download cmder.net tool https://cmder.net I dont use windows command prompt, too lousy. I use cmder, very best tool. OR you could use VS Code terminal, no need to leave your editor, very convenient.

I am using the cmd of Node, am I right? And when I choose run as administrator, I find that the starting directory is System32 instead of Users, so I just start to input the commands at System32? Or I should switch back to the folder created for Node projects?

After in Node.js command prompt nvm use 10.11.0 It said 'nvm' 不是內部或外部命令、可執行的程式或批次檔。 🤔

I see what you mean by Nodejs comand now DONT USE nodejs command line for any npm and other installations... Node command line just a repl for node script testing only. When we say command prompt cmd, it should be windows command prompt.
