npm start runs the script in the package.json. To get an electron app running with it just add electron . to the start script :

package.json

{
 "name": "angular2electron",
  "version": "1.0.1",
  "description": "my first angularjs",
  "main": "main.js",
  "dependencies": {
    "electron": "^1.4.13"
  },
  "devDependencies": {},
  "scripts": {
    "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1", 
    "start" : "electron ."
  },
