I ran into some issues when using npm to install electron.

To solve my issue, I had to add nodejs to $PATH:
SETX /M "%PATH%;C:\Program Files\nodejs"

Then, I had to use the call command when installing electron using npm:
call npm install electron -g

Hope this helps.

That isn’t a Bigfix command, its a DOS/CMD command to update the system PATH environment

@SLB is correct. This is a Windows command.

In the BigFix action script, I used:

waithidden SETX /M "%PATH%;C:\Program Files\nodejs"

Then, in the same action script, I created a batch file that runs the following commands:

call npm install electron -g
SETX PATH "%PATH%;{home directory of user of logged on user}\appdata\roaming\npm"
