I’m using one of the skeleton-navigation, skeleton-typescript.

I’m trying to import Electron.remote so I can close the electron window from within the JS. This is what I have in config.js:  
paths: {  
“_": "dist/_”,  
“github:_": "jspm\_packages/github/_”,  
“npm:_": "jspm\_packages/npm/_”,  
“node\_modules:_": "node\_modules/_”  
},  
map: {  
“electron”: “node\_modules:electron/index.js”,  
}

and in my JS file I import like this:  
`import * as electron from 'electron';`

but I get error regarding fs.js not found in path:  
`Error: (SystemJS) XHR error (404 Not Found) loading http://localhost:9000/dist/fs.js`

Can someone help on how I can fix this issue? I tried installing electron with jspm and map fs to @node/fs but that complains with error:  
`Error: (SystemJS) Error loading @node/fs. Can only load node core modules in Node.`

I opened this before stackoverflow and it was put into waiting until a member accepted this post as not spam…
