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

Question

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 👉👈

Answer 1

Try to run
npm install --save-dev electron
again

Make sure cmd run as administrator

Answer 2

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

Answer 3

After unzipping cmder mini

Did you solve your problem?

Answer 5

2 steps
npm i is same as npm install sharthand

Answer 6

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.

Answer 7

Oh I fixed three typos and now it is working ~

Answer 8

Gordon
So you had 3 typos. And they were purposes of errors?

Answer 9

Calvin solved my problem

I followed his install command with --save-dev and his command prompt application

Answer 10

So the steps are:

nvm use 10.11.0

npm i -D electron@latest

npm install --save-dev electron

Three steps?

Answer 11

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?

Answer 12

I always run cmd from working project folder..

Answer 13

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。

🤔

Answer 14

You mean no need to change Node version?

Answer 15

Should run from normal command prompt at working folder.

Answer 16

Go to windows find
Type "cmd"
Select "Command Prompt"
cd <change to working folder>

continue with your commands

Answer 17

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.

Answer 18

VS Code Terminal is referring to
"Package Manager Console" at bottom of middle of VS interface?

Answer 19

cmder
download mini or download full?

Answer 20

After unzipping cmder mini
