Issue

I am trying to get Hyper working on the Raspberry Pi. This is a feature people have been asking for for years now. Trying to run yarn run app gives the error

yarn run v1.21.1
$ electron target
/home/pi/Downloads/hyper/node_modules/electron/index.js:14
    throw new Error('Electron failed to install correctly, please delete node_modules/electron and try installing again')
    ^

Specifically,
Error: Electron failed to install correctly, please delete node_modules/electron and try installing again

I have attempted to do this—many times�—to no avail. Even though I can get electron installed independently with npm install -g electron@6

Edit: I think I was able to fix the first error by replacing electron 7.1 with 6.1.7. But now I get his error when compiling for distribution

Me, and many other people, would love to have Hyper on ARM. I would appreciate all the help I can get in trying this

[ivanwonder]

AFAIK, you failed to download electron 7.1. electron/electron#8466 (comment)

[vegerot]

@ivanwonder Excuse the dumb question, but how do I download it correctly? I've spent hours trying to get it. With npm, yarn, apt, etc.

Obviously the first thing that I did was do yarn install to install all dependencies. This produced that first error you saw. Then I tried a bunch of other yarn ways of doing it. I tried manually installing it with yarn install electron, which producing the same error. I tried switching to npm, producing the same error. I found the link you shared last night, and did not find it helpful. It produces the same error, and didn't find the progress bar useful

I think the error actually comes from the post-installation phase. When cli.js checks for the existence of certain paths

[DonavanMartin]

Solved on raspberry Pi4 with:
npm i -D electron --arch=armv7l

[danacr]

I had the same issue, so I spent some time fixing the arm64 build: https://github.com/danacr/hyper/releases/tag/v3.0.2-arm64-fpm-1.10.2

[vegerot]

How'd you fix it? Awesome!!

[danacr]

This is the diff: 3.0.2...danacr:3.0.2-build

Disregard the Dockerfile, I was using that for testing

[vegerot]

Wow, great fixes! Why didn't I try that lol

[LabhanshAgrawal]

Can you try the build from here and tell if it's working for you?
