16979 error errno 1
16980 error libui-node@0.2.1 install: "libui-download && autogypi && npm run build"
16980 error Exit status 1
16981 error Failed at the libui-node@0.2.1 install script.
16981 error This is probably not a problem with npm. There is likely additional logging output above.

Thank you..

This error appears to be related to Node v12. Can you confirm the version you are using?

I've been able to get create-proton-app working as per Quick Start guide using Node v8.16.1. It does not work on v10.16.3 LTS or beyond.

However, I was able to get the demo apps working using Node v10.16.3 LTS by following the Old Manual instructions.

Just tested and was able to get the demo notepad app working using node v11.15.0.

So it looks like the last Node versions that can be used are:

• create-proton-app: Node v8.16.1
• manual method: Node v11.15.0

Hope this helps someone.

Likely also relevant libui-node issues: 132 and 142 (which links to bcoin-org/bcrypto#7 which might have the useful solution)

Solution might be to update libui-node to use v12 compatible compilation like the bcrypto issue did.

Proton Native V2 is now released! If the issue still occurs in the new update, please open a new issue.

Tested proton-native v2 on Node v12.14.1 on Ubuntu 18.04 and works great.

FYI, I had Node v10.16.3 installed and this worked ok also. Node v8.9.4 fails.

Thanks for the excellent work!
