How can I fix this npm error installing electron?

alex

When I use npm install electron -g, I get this error:

npm ERR! code EEXIST
npm ERR! path /usr/local/bin/electron
npm ERR! Refusing to delete /usr/local/bin/electron: ../lib/node_modules/electron-prebuilt/cli.js symlink target is not controlled by npm /usr/local/bin
npm ERR! File exists: /usr/local/bin/electron
npm ERR! Remove the existing file and try again, or run npm

You need to delete the electron folder from /usr/local/bin . Then try to install Electron again:

sudo rm -rf /usr/local/bin/electron 
sudo npm install -g electron
