Install and develop electron based on linux system

After building and installing node based on the previous blog post, start to build the electron environment in the linux environment

1. Install cnpm

sudo npm install -g cnpm --registry=https://registry.npm.taobao.org

After the installation is complete, if you want to use cnpm globally, you must establish a soft connection

sudo ln -s /usr/local/node/lib/node_modules/cnpm /usr/local/bin/cnpm

 

Install cnpm successfully

2. If the npm installation speed is acceptable, the first step can be ignored, and the second step is to install electron. Most of the installations have errors such as permission denied (permission denied).

cnpm i --unsafe -perm
sudo cnpm install -g electron --unsafe-perm

After the installation is successful, find the corresponding directory and run the command

sudo node install.js

 

Establish a soft link

sudo ln -s /usr/local/node/lib/node_modules/electron/dist/electron /usr/local/bin/electron

 

The above picture shows that the installation is successful, and then run electron in your own project. You can start your own project
