I keep getting a 'node-gyp rebuild' error message when I run npm install

I copied the lines in the quick start and am encountering this error on macOS beta 6.

me too

I have problem too on windows and linux on all projects that require node-gyp. However for this one i just had to download the files in /build from github, put it in my own folder and it worked. I still have the error when i do npm install but the projet is working.

Also i had to install electron-prebuilt and do 'cd node_modules/electron-prebuilt && node install.js' because the path.txt file was missing.

I resolved this error on my install by making sure I had Visual Studio Express 2013 installed (choco install visualstudioexpress2013windowsdesktop) and then ran npm config set msvs_version 2013 --global

Allowed me to fully install after the above was done, Hopefully this was what allowed me to get it working.

Just noticed the issue was still open. I no longer have this issue.
