Hello, which Ubuntu and Node version are you using? I wouldn't recommend using a Node version prior to 8.

You can view your Node version by running node -v from a terminal.

I use these versions : Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS root@user-LIFEBOOK-S752:/home/user/Desktop/odas/odas_web#node -v v8.11.1 root@user-LIFEBOOK-S752:/home/user/Desktop/odas/odas_web#npm -v 5.6.0

Sorry about the long delay, I was quite busy on my side. If you haven’t figured this out, did you run npm install as root or with sudo? If so, the post install script that rebuilds the packages for electron will probably fail, giving you this error.

I would retry the installation process as a standard user. You don’t need admin permission to install and run ODAS Studio.
