Install for Electron

Please see the official electron docs here

For a slightly simpler version of the first method, use an .npmrc file. For example if you have an Electron app that’s targeting version 1.2.8 your .npmrc file would look something like:

runtime = electron
target = 1.2.8
target_arch = x64
disturl = https://atom.io/download/atom-shell

NOTE: We try to provide prebuilt binaries for electron, but we don’t always have them available for every version. If prebuilts are not available and you have trouble with local compilation, visit our building guides for help
