Electron forge was terminated:
You must depend on "electron-prebuilt-compile" in your devDependencies

I'm new to electron and I can't figure out how to deal with this error. I tried running npm install electron-prebuilt-compile --save-dev , but I get the following error:

GotError [HTTPError]: Response code 404 (Not Found) for https://github.com/electron/electron/releases/download/v8.2.0/electron-v8.2.0-darwin-arm64.zip
