so this happens when you install with npm, instead of yarn. Both should be supported. yarn does not install the electron-builder-lib package but npm does. Maybe we can change the build process to utilize the electron-builder install-app-deps command instead or we can simply put in a quick fix to handle which ever exists after install for the correct path in the script.

I can confirm this issue in my case too.

Changing line number 3 inside config/install-app-deps.js from: const installOrRebuild = require('electron-builder/out/util/yarn').installOrRebuild; to: const installOrRebuild = require('electron-builder-lib/out/util/yarn').installOrRebuild;

resolved issue for me.
