Cannot build gui on RPi4 Ubuntu 20.04 RCS>=0.2.3

Raspberry pi 4, 8GB RAM running Arm64 and Ubuntu 20.04

Having a lot of trouble trying to get the electron build to work.

I have tried nuking my nodejs libs, which included reinstalling various versions of Nodejs v12. As well as nuking the directory and recloning, resetting to master/origin etc. Any suggestions?

Full log/stack trace from debug.log:

Look up nvm and install nodejs v12 (sorry on mobile right now won’t be by computer for a while). There are some guides out there. I look dup Ubuntu stuff, but this may help you cause it’s rpi related https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-install-node-js-on-raspberry-pi/

how i do this? i have a rpi with raspbian base, and i get the same error.electron doesn’t works… my npm version is v16

thanks!!
