## Why am I having trouble installing Electron?
When running `npm install electron`, some users occasionally encounter
installation errors.
In almost all cases, these errors are the result of network problems and not
actual issues with the `electron` npm package. Errors like `ELIFECYCLE`,
`EAI_AGAIN`, `ECONNRESET`, and `ETIMEDOUT` are all indications of such
network problems. The best resolution is to try switching networks, or
just wait a bit and try installing again.
You can also attempt to download Electron directly from
[electron/electron/releases](https://github.com/electron/electron/releases)
if installing via `npm` is failing.
