How to speed up downloading Electron

If you’re not in Europe or the US, you might want to use a different mirror for
electron. You can set the ELECTRON_MIRROR variable to point to a different
provider:

sh
# Europe / US $ npm install # Asia / Oceania $ ELECTRON_MIRROR="https://npm.taobao.org/mirrors/electron/" npm install
