Hello,
I read through your Github Issue which is linked to the contribution.
I would like to highlight as there is a comment on the issue you made -
The -D flag is trying to save electron as a dev dependency for a node project. It looks like you are not in a node project.
If are just trying to install electron, then you could run: npm i -g electron which would install electron globally and would make available to you (providing your path is setup correctly - check the npm docs).
If however you are trying to use electron in a new project then first run npm init in your new blank project folder and then you can run npm i -D electron in that project folder.
After reading through this comment I checked your log back out and seen for the first time you were installing electron in your home directory which got clear from the first line
npm ERR! path /home/nolan/node_modules
which shows you were trying to install Electron as a dev dependency in your home folder it first gave permission denied error which is by default a error if you execute a command of accessing home without root permissions then after that you tried it out with sudo but as it cannot be installed as a dev dependency in home folder it gives you another error.
I would recommend you to either try to install in globally by -g flag or try to install it as a dev dependency in a project folder.
Hence it is not a bug I will hide it from Utopian.
For further help and assistance regarding electron you may go to thier community or thier slack channel.
Thanks!
