I've used both the latest version and the LTS version of NodeJS when doing this, and get the same result either way. I use npm install then make, and when trying to run the built electron application I always get this error.

$ /home/jona/Downloads/web-runner/build/web-x86_64/electron/electron
A JavaScript error occurred in the main process
Uncaught Exception:
Error: Cannot find module 'is-url-superb'
    at Module._resolveFilename (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:584:15)
    at Function.Module._resolveFilename (/home/jona/Downloads/web-runner/build/web-x86_64/electron/resources/electron.asar/common/reset-search-paths.js:43:12)

    at Object.Module._extensions..js (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:704:10)
    at Module.load (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:602:32)

So I then just scrapped everything then did npm install again, but this time I also make sure to npm install is-url-superb as well. After confirming is-url-superlib was in the node-modules directory, I make and try the newly built application. Yet again getting the same error. Not sure what else to do.
