If sqlite3 is required during normal operation of your Electron application and not just during development then you will need to added sqlite3 as a dependency.
IE: Move "sqlite3": "^5.0.2" from "devDependencies": { ... } to "dependencies": { ... }.
package.json
{
"name": "aux-services",
"version": "1.0.0",
"description": "Mobile Repair Tracking System",
"main": "main.js",
"scripts": {
"start": "electron .",
"postinstall": "electron-builder install-app-deps",
"pack": "electron-builder -w"
},
"repository": {
"type": "git",
"url": "git+https://github.com/shafeequeot/Mobile-Service-Tracker.git"
},
