[c7pt7in]

updating electron-packager worked for me

npm install electron-packager -g

Getting a similar error while trying to install Electron 1.7.5, on Ubuntu 16.04.

Error: Generated checksum for "electron-v1.7.5-linux-x64.zip" did not match expected checksum.

Hi @runrog, please don't comment "+1", if you have a similar problem and don't have additional details to add, please use 👍 emotion on OP's post. This will prevent constant notifications that repo's owners and participants receiving and reduce the number of overall comments so it will be easier to focus on important information.

Rolling back to Node v6.9.2 with nvm fixed this on Bitrise CI.

I tried Node v7.3.0 but ran into the same issue. I'm not sure if malept/sumchecker#5 is the fix but it's in sumchecker 2.0.2 and electron-downloader is using sumchecker 2.0.1.

For anyone still facing this issue, try this fix

... But then I switched to node 6.12.0, and I could finally install it :/

I can confirm the same issue as OP on node:alpine

FROM node:latest

ADD dist /srv/node/web/dist
ADD deployment /srv/node/web

WORKDIR web

RUN npm i --only=dev

ENV BUILD_DIR=dist
ENV PORT=8080

EXPOSE 8080

CMD ["node", "server.js"]

We can fix this, but I want to first get a sense of users are still affected by it, as its an older version of Electron.

The electron-prebuilt repo is being retired and its code has been moved into the electron/electron repo. For the sake of historical transparency, we will leave GitHub Issues enabled on this repository, but if you are still affected by the issue reported here, please open a new issue on electron/electron repo and reference this issue from it so people can get the full context. The electron repository has a large and active contributor community, so your issue is more likely to get the attention it deserves there. Thanks!

I'm still facing this issue,

npm install electron-packager -g didn't help, resolutions didn't help...
