Failing npm install

[eliduke]

I'm not having any luck with npm install. First off, here are my details:

Node v7.9.0
NPM v5.6.0
Electron v1.8.8

Here's the error output from npm i electron-spellchecker:

1 error generated.

I've been digging around in some other GitHub issues that seem sorta similar:

https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp/issues/65 https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp/issues/1701

But, those are issues with special characters / spaces. It's very possible that I'm barking up the wrong tree, but I thought I'd start here. I'm very new to electron, so any help you have would be much appreciated.

🙏🙏🙏

I'm having the same issue with: yarn v1.10.1 electron v5.0.3 and v6.0.0 node v12.7.0

[eliduke]

I was able to fix this by upgrading node. My current setup is as follows now:

Node v10.16.0
NPM v6.9.0
Electron v1.8.8
