The npm run start command currently is meant to be tied with doing npm run startx or similar and is more intended for a development workflow. npm run start is assuming that a :1 display exists, which may not be the case if something like Xephyr wasn't ran before.

When I use this for daily use, I have an .xinitrc and it runs something like the following (adjusted for the paths in your post):

exec /home/ozgur/Downloads/electron-wm-main/node_modules/.bin/electron /home/ozgur/Downloads/electron-wm-main

(So essentially the same as npm run start, but without the DISPLAY=:1 environment variable.)
