electron 入门小白贴

electron demo 跑起来！

毕设准备是做个 跨平台的做题的客户端，打算用 electron 来弄。

然而今天折腾了半天才终于吧demo给跑起来了。经历了许多的问题，果真是应了那句“万事开头难啊”

先是吧官网的demo electron-quick-start 下载下来运行，官网说是只需要三部：

# Clone the Quick Start repository

$ git clone https://github.com/electron/electron-quick-start

# Go into the repository

$ cd electron-quick-start

# Install the dependencies and run

$ npm install && npm start

但是我第三部总是运行不了，开始的时候执行npm start 就停在这里了，半天没反应。进入 node_modules目录的 electron 执行 node install.js 也不行。然后各种 electron，electron . 命令都试过，快要放弃了

➜  electron-quick-start git:(master) npm start

> electron-quick-start@1.0.0 start /Users/baidu/Downloads/bishe/electron-quick-start

> electron .

fs.js:584

  return binding.open(pathModule._makeLong(path), stringToFlags(flags), mode);

                 ^

最后发现直接执行 electron 的时候是全局的，然后 cnpm install electron --save-dev 局部执行就好了，我的个小心脏啊。
