electron-builder: install-app-deps fails

Which version of electron-builder are you using?

  • 6.7.3:

What target are you building for?

  • mac

I’m using two package.json files, one for app and one for the project.

I’m executing npm install in the project root which executes install-app-deps. That command fails. This is the output:

npm WARN optional dep failed, continuing 7zip-bin-win@2.0.1
npm WARN optional dep failed, continuing 7zip-bin-linux@1.0.2
npm WARN deprecated cross-spawn-async@2.2.4: cross-spawn no longer requires a build toolchain, use it instead!

Use yarn.

@joshualambert Soon electron-builder will warn if you use npm and recommend to use https://yarnpkg.com (currently, yarn cannot be used, but all major issues are fixed). Because I am tired to recommend rm -rf node_modules.
