                    sam whatever you told me to not which step I got it all working. Only issue now is two modules are not centered correctly even when using top_center…how or if you can use css for that?

                      maybe… depends on the module

                                        electron js\electron.js

                                        u still have it wrong

                                        “node_modules/.bin/electron electron.js”

                                        electron is not in the path, so you have to give it the path to the executable

                                        once again different versions of node and npm require slightly different solutions…
                                        this is not an MM problem… they keep messing it up (in my opinion)
