The error message shows that it wants to rename (actually move) the file /home/black-swan/project/butter-desktop-angular/node_modules/electron-prebuilt/electron-tmp-download-6030-1445880570125/electron-v0.33.6-linux-x64.zip to /home/black-swan/.electron/electron-v0.33.6-linux-x64.zip, but have no permission.

Can you please check the permission of the directory /home/black-swan/.electron and see if you're the owner:

ls -l /home/black-swan/.electron

You have to be careful when use sudo when installing things with npm, sometimes you have to run the install command without it.

I can still build Butter, but the view is fully messed up and I can't browse the app.
