Title: Electron postInst taking much time
Tags: javascript;node.js;npm;electron
Question: I am running node 5.0 on mac OS(Sierra), and trying to load node module of 'electron' using this command:
npm install electron --save-dev
But the installation is stuck at 'node install.js', since 30 mins. There are no errors or any other log on screen.
Can someone please point me out in right direction.
Comment: Does this still happen if you kill the install process (press Ctrl+C), run `npm cache clean`, `rm -r ./node_modules` then `npm install` it all again?

Comment: @Aurora0001 Yes, its still the same, I observed that it downloads a file, I mean increase network utility of 13.5 MB (approx) and then doing some processing(system calls and memory is varying). But still not sure, should it take this much time.
