Choose Electron version

[christianbundy]

Hi! Is it possible to choose which version of Electron is used? I'd like to test for support on a few different releases but didn't want to write my own module if it's possible via electron-stream.

Hey! Electron is currently installed as a dependency through npm, and you can't depend on multiple versions of the same module. It is therefore currently installed at install time, where you can't really pass arguments to it.

What you request would require it instead to be installed at runtime, as it's too expensive to just install all electron versions at once. If there isn't one already, we'd need to write a node module for this, and then integrate it here.

I currently don't have the OSS time to work on this, however if you or someone else is interested, I'm very happy to help.

Thanks for the quick response! I'll see if I can take the code from this repo and just have Electron passed in as an argument after being installed by the user. I'll post updates in this thread if/when I get it working.
