Steps to reproduce or a small repository showing the problem:

I using this boilerplate to make my electron app. https://github.com/iRath96/electron-react-typescript-boilerplate

I follow the same instruction as https://github.com/typeorm/electron-typescript-example did, but when I run yarn dev on my project it throws an error like below on console developer tools electron app.

Error:  Error: SQLite package has not been found installed. Try to install it: npm install sqlite3 --save
    at new DriverPackageNotInstalledError 

I have removed and reinstall node_modules but it didn’t work. I also double check if sqlite3 present on node_modules or not. But it’s available.

So I’ve made repository if you want to check it out, here is my repo https://github.com/rohmanhm/ts-electron-react-typeorm-sqlite

Any way to solve this issue? Any suggestion will be helpful.

I finally fixed my issue by installing this package https://github.com/electron/electron-rebuild, and run

electron-rebuild -f -w sqlite3

Thanks, everyone 🙂

there is actually a post-install script in package.json that runs electron-rebuild for you
