Problem installing electron js on raspberry pi 3

I installed node js on raspberry pi 3 when I install electron js with the following command:

sudo npm install -g electron --unsafe-perm=true --allow-root

I get the following output:

/usr/local/bin/electron -> /usr/local/lib/node_modules/electron/cli.js

> core-js@3.4.1 postinstall /usr/local/lib/node_modules/electron/node_modules/core-js
> node postinstall || echo "ignore"

Thank you for using core-js ( https://github.com/zloirock/core-js ) for polyfilling JavaScript standard library!

The project needs your help! Please consider supporting of core-js on Open Collective or Patreon:

Also, the author of core-js ( https://github.com/zloirock ) is looking for a good job -)

How can I rectify this problem.

Solution

To solve this I created a ".npmrc" file in the project root directory and added:

arch=armv7l

You can get arch from:

uname -m
