@ChaosVan Going out on a limb here, but might it be that these dependencies aren’t downloading due to firewalls? Try the solutions mentioned here and here and let me know if either of them work.

As a last resort, you could try going to the package in the atom config dir (mine is ~/.atom/packages/markdown-pdf and run npm i from there.
