Magic Mirror doesn't work after a boot

[sdetweil]

@eightbit thanks for the log… says electron did not install. hmm…

thus trying to use chromium…

does it start now ? pm2 or npm start?

[eightbit]

@sdetweil ```
secretsanta@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ npm start

magicmirror@2.25.0 start
DISPLAY=“${DISPLAY:=:0}” ./node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js

sh: 1: ./node_modules/.bin/electron: not found

[sdetweil]

@eightbit ok…

cd ~/MagicMirror
npm install electron@26.2.4

and try again, manually w
npm start

[sdetweil]

@eightbit i couldn’t approve the message, system though it was spam

those are noise we can’t hide…

try npm start again

[eightbit]

@sdetweil that started up very quickly. Let me clean out my pm2 and re-run the autostart you suggested at the beginning.

DUDE YOU ARE THE ABSOLUTE BOSS!

You may have even saved Christmas for my secret santa recipient. Thank you so much for helping me slog through this last piece of the puzzle. So it was a missing electron install after all? (And probably all my fuzzing around with the start up solutions)

[sdetweil]

@eightbit yes… why it didn’t install, I have no clue…
but it also showed the chromium problem which I hadn’t seen before…

to restore the original package.json (with the correct start line) do

cd ~/MagicMirror
git checkout package.json

glad we could fix it !
