Electron

Last updated: 2023-03-24 15:29:26

    Why is Electron download slow or even stuck?

    When download of the dependency package starts, it may be very slow, and a timeout error of npm even occurs after I wait for a long time.
    

    Solution A

    If you work from an office in your company, you need to check whether the proxy configuration of npm points to the proxy server of your company and whether the ELECTRON_GET_USE_PROXY environment variable is configured, and if not, perform the following steps:
    
    1. Set the npm proxy: npm config set all_proxy=[your proxy address].
    2. Configure the ELECTRON_GET_USE_PROXY environment variable, so that the Electron installation script will be downloaded through the npm proxy.
    

    Solution B

    If you use macOS, run the following command:
    $ export ELECTRON_GET_USE_PROXY=true

    Solution C

    If you use Windows:
    1. Right-click PC > System Properties> Advanced > Environment Variables.
    2. Set the environment variable ELECTRON_GET_USE_PROXY as shown below and run npm install or npm install --proxy=[your proxy address]:
