how can fix it?

Hi @Omar_Carrasco!

Looking at that error message, it looks like Electron isn't installed correctly:

Have you followed the instructions provided on the docs site?

I would suggest following the suggestion of the above error message, and remove the directory node_modules, and then try again with installing --- perhaps there was a network hiccup that corrupted electron while fetching.

Keep us posted!
