I followed a few video tutorials (such as this one [LINK] and this one [this video] ), which use a very similar code, which throws up an error. My files: package.json { "name": "steamcmd-gui", "version": "0.0.1", "author": "avi12", "main": "main.js", "scripts": { "start": "electron ." }, "dependencies": { "electron": "^1.7.5" } } main.js const electron = require("electron"); const url = require("url"); const path = require("path"); let win; function createWindow() { win = new electron.BrowserWindow(); win.loadURL(url.format({ pathname: path.join(__dirname, "index.html"), protocol: "file", slashes: true }); ); win.on("closed", () => win = null); electron.app.on("ready", createWindow); electron.app

I had same problem when I tried to do this node js app: [this video] The require in html was reached from a < script> and was undefined, like <script> require('./renderer.js');</script> I changed it to: <script src="./renderer.js"></script> The process in html script was also undefined. I included the webPreferences: nodeIntegration in the js file: win = new BrowserWindow({ width: 800, height:600, icon: __dirname+'/img/sysinfo.png', webPreferences: { nodeIntegration: true } }); I hope it helped.
