Have you tried a more recent version of node/npm? e.g. node 6.2 and npm 3.8.

[onury]

I cannot use a non-LTS Node version. But I updated node to latest LTS v4.4.7 And updated NPM to latest v3.10.3

result is the same.

[mattdesl]

It looks to be a permissions problem, possibly in the electron-prebuilt module or possibly because you don't have adequate permission when running the install command.

[onury]

I run it with sudo.

sudo npm install devtool -g

same result.
