7 years ago None of the log warnings etc look problematic; it feels more like your Electron is somehow broken. Can you upload the full build logs?
Also, what version of electron did npm install electron install? (you
can see from its package.json)

7 years ago The electron version is 1.4.11. The entire package.json is pasted below.
Where are the build logs? I couldn't find anything relevantly names and changed recently in the same directory.

7 years ago npm run build is necessary for it to run. It just has to be added to the build instructions

7 years ago Great, thanks!
After running npm run build, I can launch the application with node_modules/.bin/electron .. I still see the same message about the missing base_url printed in terminal, but everything seems to be working fine.
Maybe this step should be added to the desktop install instructions in the README? Or is it implicit that you always have to do this when using npm?

I tried cloning and installing the
0.9.1-tag with the same result.Further, I tried

Any ideas of how I could get the desktop client up and running?
In case it matters, I'm on kernel 4.8.12-2-ARCH, with Gnome 3.22.1 as the desktop environment.
