How to install an electron app from it's repo?

While browsing for some WebGL games i came across this game, and was suprised to see on their discord that they would have a Linux client soon. So when i asked i was directed to: https://github.com/OnRushStudio/Venge-Client And told to clone the repo and run npm start inside it. Now we all love Deno right? So how can we use this using Deno instead of node? Please step-by-step instructions are welcome 😉

Didn't seem to work... @marvinh. Keep in mind, im still a noob wrt to using deno unfortunatly...

usually you install dependencies in Deno via deno install. That said it looks like this project has some github: dependencies which are not supported in Deno. As a workaround you can install them with npm like npm install and then use Deno for the rest.

I think it's electron that's cause the problem right? Is there a replacement we can use with deno? Because i don't like to install npm anymore... I could clone and refactor their code maybe?
