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)

@sdetweil the only thing that isn’t working now is when I run npm init-y in each module folder the module in the dev window is still asking for replace instead of request

sdetweil

@swvalenti you don’t run npm init unless u need to. only if u need to install a library that mm doesn’t reference anymore

I did what you said but still get this error for some reason

@swvalenti ok, sometimes this is because of a typo in the config position for the module
