Hi,
I'm trying to install Electron on Windows 10 using Windows CMD. When I enter the following command:

npm install electron-prebuilt --save-dev

it works fine till it comes to "node install.js" then it hangs for a long time then outputs the following list of errors:

D:\CS_Projects\lnl\node_modules\electron-prebuilt\install.js:22
  throw err
  ^

I tried to solve it but I haven't come to any solution. Please help me.
Thanks!

Maybe it would be better to report this issue in https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-prebuilt

Seems like you have network connectivity issues.
Also you could take a look at

I solved it! I just downgraded node.js to v6.1.0 and it worked fine! Thanks! :)
