I have tried node 4.7.1 and 6.5.0 and got same error for both.

Thanks

Looks like NPM can't find Git, is Git accessible in the command prompt you run NPM from? If not you'll need to add it to your PATH.

Hello

Thank you for your response.

Yes, git is accessible:

C:\Users...\Downloads\electron-quick-start>git --version git version 1.9.5.chromium.6

After sending the last comment, I realized it was using incorrect git. So, I updated PATH and now it is able to install it.

But, when I tried running it, it is getting the following message:

C:\Users...\Downloads\electron-quick-start>node_modules.bin\electron-inspector Electron not found.

I have the latest files from electron-quick-start repo.

Thanks
