title: Electron not working on Raspberry Pi
body: <p>At the moment, I am developing a "kiosk" application for my Raspberry Pi. I decided to use <a href="http://electron.atom.io/">Electron</a> as it offers the key feature I need: Combining a web based UI with direct system an I/O access via node.js.</p>
  
  <p>However, Electron refuses to run on my Raspberry Pi whereas it works just fine on the computer I am using for development. Nothing happens after issuing <code>electron .</code> in the terminal, the program just exits without showing a window or any errors in the command line. Any clues? I couldn't find any on the web so far. I installed Electron via <code>npm install electron-prebuilt -g</code>, which downloaded and installed the latest ARM-version.</p>
  
  <p>If this is an unresolvable compatibility problem: Are there any good alternatives for Electron?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance! </p>
