Electron 1.8.0 is not a release version of electron anymore

See original GitHub issue

I’ve tried to install the following versions:

23.4.2 via AUR itch
24.4.0-canary via AUR kitch
dev via git

All failed on installing Electron 1.8.0, most recent released version is 1.7.8. Electron 1.8.0 was dropped because of a security risk.

By changing line 117 in package.json to "electron": "^1.7.8", it fixed the issue.

OS: Arch Linux

Yes installs without an issue. Also, starts without an issue.

Indeed 23.4.2 gives a different error, npm ERR! May not delete: /tmp/electron-packager/linux-x64/itch-linux-x64/resources/app/node_modules/.bin

This can possibly be because I installed through the GitHub and my Node.JS knowledge is slacking.

Cool, that’s the expected error - you had me worried for a minute that I pushed an upgrade to the stable channel without knowing it 😉
