Fails to start on Linux due to better-sqlite3 compiled version mismatch

[whphhg]

First of all, thank you for creating and open sourcing this! I used to love the original game, so this will be an awesome way to play from time to time and see the inner workings as well. 🥇

After npm install I removed the comment enabling mainWindow.webContents.openDevTools() in main.js and the issue is (I've tried npm rebuild like it suggested as well):

Uncaught Error: The module '/home/user/OS/OpenSC2K/node_modules/better-sqlite3/build/Release/better_sqlite3.node'
was compiled against a different Node.js version using
NODE_MODULE_VERSION 59. This version of Node.js requires
NODE_MODULE_VERSION 57. Please try re-compiling or re-installing
the module (for instance, using `npm rebuild` or `npm install`).

@whphhg Did you try rebuilding/reinstalling the module?

[whphhg]

Not the module itself. How do I do that? I ran npm rebuild in the cloned directory.

[cursorial]

npm rebuild better-sqlite3

or

npm install better-sqlite3

[whphhg]

I've tried the following combinations but no cigar:

• npm rebuild better-sqlite3 after a clean install
• installing better-sqlite3 and starting
• rebuilding the project and the module after installing better-sqlite3

See #4 as well - have you tried rebuilding electron with that command?

[whphhg]

Rebuilding right now (just read your issue)! Will let you know in a bit.

Edit: that did the trick. It's alive!
