            @sdetweil npm is 6.4.1 and node is 10.15.1. When I try to install electron now it just says that my cache input stream is empty. when I tried to get to node modules like @bhepler said, it said no such file or directory, and when I force cleared it gave me a warning message saying “I sure hope you know what you are doing.”

                      @sdetweil it also says that “local package.json exists, but node_modules is missing, did you mean to install?”
