electron: Unable to use 'remote' module

Hi,

I’m trying to use the remote module but I’m getting an error when running my app:

App threw an error when running [TypeError: Cannot read property 'BrowserWindow' of undefined]

Here’s a simplified version of my code:

const remote = require('electron').remote;
const BrowserWindow = remote.BrowserWindow;
var win = new BrowserWindow({ width: 800, height: 600 });
win.loadURL('https://github.com');

Any idea what the problem can be?

Many thanks
