I don't think Electron works on FreeBSD (see here
<https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/3797>), but Blink requires it.
You could try using the Linux binaries by changing this
<https://github.com/JunoLab/Blink.jl/blob/v0.4.3/src/AtomShell/install.jl#L32>
line to be is_linux() || is_bsd()and call Blink.AtomShell.install() again,
but I'm not sure that'll work.
