      ./node_modules

      yes, you cannot have the ./ in front… windows doesn’t understand that …

      read the instructions again

                    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)
