Electron is a steaming pile of garbage with a million dependencies. Without it though, nightmare.js won't work. Worse even, it will die silently, nary an error message in sight. Here is my guide for installing electron.

  1. Pour yourself a glass of wine. You are going to be here a while.
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
  1. Install nvm
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.33.8/install.sh | bash
  1. Install latest version of node
nvm install node
  1. Do this: https://hub.docker.com/r/aheuermann/electron/~/dockerfile/
