Hmm, just started hitting this on a fresh global install. I cleared my ~/.electron cached downloads and tried again, same error.

Ok, interesting. Because electron apps are doing require('electron') somehow node was resolving to a globally installed version of electron (notice that module is not related to atom/eletron).

Running this fixes the problem:

npm uninstall -g electron

Interesting. We could report this in atom/electron. It shouldn't crash if you have this installed.
