eletron安装卡在 node install.js

Question

不知各位有没有感受，安装Electron的时候，往往卡在了node install.js这一步，我挂了VPN也下不下来。非常蛋疼。请问各位有没有什么好的解决方案。比如说更换源之类的，目前的这个源似乎应该是amazonaws的。

Answer 1

找到方法了，来自问自答一下。

$ node install.js

这句命令的install.js是electron这个包里的，里面的下载是依赖于electron-download这个模块。
在github上面，electron-download这个包里有如下标注：

You can set the ELECTRON_MIRROR or NPM_CONFIG_ELECTRON_MIRROR environment variable or mirror opt variable to use a custom base URL for grabbing Electron zips. The same pattern applies to ELECTRON_CUSTOM_DIR and ELECTRON_CUSTOM_FILENAME:

## Electron Mirror of China
ELECTRON_MIRROR="https://npm.taobao.org/mirrors/electron/"
## or for a local mirror
ELECTRON_MIRROR="https://10.1.2.105/"
ELECTRON_CUSTOM_DIR="our/internal/filePath"

You can set ELECTRON_MIRROR in .npmrc as well, using the lowercase name:

electron_mirror=https://10.1.2.105/

所以解决的方法就是在~/.npmrc里做如下设置，

electron_mirror="https://npm.taobao.org/mirrors/electron/"

终极解决方案

• npm 安装 node-sass 网速慢的 可以 运行 npm config set registry https://registry.npm.taobao.org

• 然后 编辑 ~/.npmrc 加入下面内容

registry=https://registry.npm.taobao.org
sass_binary_site=https://npm.taobao.org/mirrors/node-sass/
phantomjs_cdnurl=http://npm.taobao.org/mirrors/phantomjs
ELECTRON_MIRROR=http://npm.taobao.org/mirrors/electron/

Answer 3

ubuntu系统，可以使用这个方法：在命令行界面

# export ELECTRON_MIRROR="https://npm.taobao.org/mirrors/electron/"
# npm install electron

这个方法是在这个命令行进程里面，设置变量，把这一次electron的源改成淘宝的源

Answer 4

可以直接改 /node_modules/electron/install.js:

// downloads if not cached
download({
  cache: process.env.electron_config_cache,
  version: version,
  platform: process.env.npm_config_platform,
  arch: process.env.npm_config_arch,
  strictSSL: process.env.npm_config_strict_ssl === 'true',
  force: process.env.force_no_cache === 'true',
  mirror: 'https://npm.taobao.org/mirrors/electron/', // 这里改镜像
  quiet: process.env.npm_config_loglevel === 'silent' || process.env.CI
}, extractFile)

然后执行这个install.js：node install.js

再终极解决方案，直接下载对应的打包好的文件，electron-v1.6.5-darwin-x64.zip，把其放在~/Library/Caches/electron目录下（windows下目录需要你自己去找），他还需要下载一个SHASUMS256.txt-1.6.5校验文件，我的1.6.5版本内容入下，如果连这个文件也无法下载...那就尝试下自己建立

另，翻了下electron-download文档，文档在这里目录对应如下：
Linux: $XDG_CACHE_HOME or ~/.cache/electron/
MacOS: ~/Library/Caches/electron/
Windows: $LOCALAPPDATA/electron/Cache or ~/AppData/Local/electron/Cache/

Answer 6

楼主已经回答的很详细了。我补充的是小白版本的。在安装electron时遇到的是同样的问题，我的解决办法是：
1.先全局安装cnpm ： npm install cnpm -g
2.使用npm 的地方把npm 该为cnpm 即可。例如：npm install 换为cnpm install即可正确安装模块了
