maybe that help you , and the lightning network have  still in testing level

Thanks for the clarification, it's clear now, how to use the \\

An '\' is used as an escape character. It is used to include special characters (like TAB, new line, etc..) into a string.
To include a backslash (\) you have to put the escape character in front of it. Therefore the '\\'.
Without the escape char the '\n' in the first line would have been understood as 'new line'.

Unfortunately i don't know what caused OP's problem. But i'm pretty sure it is not because of the double backslash.


OP, do you have the 'pack-age-electron' script in the right directory?

I'm also not an expert but these lines seems suspicious for me:
1 verbose cli [ 'C:\\Program Files\\nodejs\\node.exe',
1 verbose cli   'C:\\Program Files\\nodejs\\node_modules\\npm\\bin\\npm-cli.js',
7 verbose argv "C:\\Program Files\\nodejs\\node.exe" "C:\\Program Files\\nodejs\\node_modules\\npm\\bin\\npm-cli.js" "run" "setup"

There should not be double \\, usually it have to be just a single backslash like \

I'm not sure that this is the problem but you can give it a try to check the script if you can modify it to single backslash, it can't be worse, since it's not working at the moment.

The other reason why there are dobule backslashes in the program lines that this is a special scripting language I don't know, in this case I have no idea about the problem...

10 error missing script: setup

i can check it and see, I'm really new to this. I wouldn't know what to look for exactly

Have you checked the log?
Does it have more detailed error message or that contains only the same information as the screenshot?

You can check the file format by opening the details of  your screenshot(usually they are in .png or .jpg format), If you are using Imgur to upload your image you don't need to check the image format because the direct link of Imgur image has the image file extension at the end. You just need to copy the direct link from Imgur and paste it here to view it on your post.
e.g  

I'm trying to run


But I keep receiving a npm err missing script.

I'm using Windows 10

It's a screen shot from my Android  cellphone and I tried using Imgur to upload it on here. I'm not sure if it's a png or not

Use any image hosting provider such as imgur or epvpimg and post it between the img tags:


Just make sure your link ends with the extension (png, jpg, .gif etc.) and as for your error, you may want to give more info about what were you wallet were you using, the OS etc.

Hello I'm trying to install lightning on my laptop but I keep running into this error can someone please help.

How do I upload my screen shot ?
