When I run the command npm install I am getting these errors. Then when I go to ElectronClient and run npm start I get the following errors:

    throw new Error('Electron failed to install correctly, please delete node_modules/electron and try installing again')

You have to install libsecret-1-dev or the appropriate package depending on your Linux distro, which you omitted in your problem report.

That helped me to build the code and I was able to run npm install with dozens of warnings. But I still can't run the npm start script. Here's what I get on the console:

Debugger listening on ws://127.0.0.1:32775/6ead2906-3bc0-44b7-bbf6-7b4f5bba18bd
For help, see: https://nodejs.org/en/docs/inspector
Debugger attached.

Did you run npm i in the root of the repo?

Somehow your Electron install is borked. As the errorsays, pleaae delete it (/home/koushik/Documents/code/git-repo/joplin/ElectronClient/node_modules/electron) and start over.

In /home/koushik/Documents/code/git-repo/joplin run:

npm i
