Installing Electron on Ubuntu

so i wanted to learn a bit of electron frontend development and worked myself through the installation guide on the electron site.Everything works well, until the npm install electron --save-dev command.Also tried if with sudo npm install electron --save-dev, but i get the same output.Here's the error message:

$ npm install electron --save-devnpm ERR! code 1npm ERR! path /home/marc/electron_app/node_modules/electronnpm ERR! command failednpm ERR! command sh -c node install.jsnpm ERR! /home/marc/electron_app/node_modules/electron/install.js:45npm ERR!   checksums: process.env.electron_use_remote_checksums ?? process.env.npm_config_electron_use_remote_checksums ? undefined : require('./checksums.json'),npm ERR!                                                         ^npm ERR! npm ERR!

It seems like the problem has something to do with the two ? in the command npm executes, but i have no idea how to fix that. Nodejs is correctly installed.
