Unable to install vue-devtools

See original GitHub issue

I followed the steps in the installation guide. When I run npm run dev, I get the following errors. npm run build seems to work OK.

I get the same error; this is my solution: npm install vue-devtools --save-dev on main/index.js: BrowserWindow.addDevToolsExtension(‘node_modules/vue-devtools/vender’)

For me the solution was to install Unzip

sudo apt-get install unzip
