After research I have discovered this package is not needed thanks to xvfb-maybe package.

firs have electron installed globally because electron-prebuilt is not a dependency of this/my project. Next I would just put a run script inside package.json which looks like below (see package.json inside this repo):

"start": "xvfb-maybe electron -v"

When I run npm start, also inside VM(vagrant):

Alfreds-MacBook-Pro:electron-version alfredwesterveld$ npm start

> xvfb-maybe electron -v
