This is an issue we run into with Electron 2 under Linux, because of this we had to temporary settle on manually downgrading to Electron 1 for our Linux releases.

We're working on updating our codebase to work with the latest versions of electron and node, but for the time being please use yarn add electron@1 and use node 8 (via eg nvm).

@MortalKastor Thanks a lot! Now it works perfectly :)
