Quick Hint: Building Electron Apps
#1
Just a quick hint for any individuals building or developing Electron-based apps:

If you simply issue npm install electron, the process will fail with a non-specific 404 error as well as an unhandled promise reject during electron's postinstall stage. This is due to, afaik, the electron downloader pulling for the non-existent arm(maybe?) build instead of the more appropriate armv7l build. 

To resolve this, pass the arch flag as such:
Code:
$ npm i electron --arch=armv7l

or if installing in general:

$ npm i --arch=armv7l
Afterwards you should be good to go.

Thanks! Will try to build Rambox app.

Another hint for any individuals building or developing Electron-based apps: don't. Smile

Because? I just need that Rambox app or something like that.

I tried to build Rambox and ended just like on old Pinebook. It looks it was built, but after running it just opens a blank window with menu, without the app contents.
