Description

No matter what method I use to install, I receive an error when it tries to install the electron dependency. "RequestError: read ECONNRESET"

I was successful in loading the vite plugin but I don't think I can use that in my current situation as I have to test in production, so I am trying to install the global stand-alone version and both return the same error

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by reproducing the global standalone installation and capture the Electron dependency failure, then inspect the installation path involved; done means the standalone version installs successfully without the ECONNRESET error.
