      Your node is still old. Did you run

      apt-get update
apt-get upgrade

      or

      sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

      ? Without sudo (root rights) apt-get will not install anything and just throw out errors.

        @yawns I ran it with sudo

        Here’s the result of sudo apt-get upgrade after I ran sudo apt-get update:

        pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo apt-get upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Calculating upgrade... The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
  libc-ares2 libv8-3.14.5
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
Done
The following packages have been kept back:
  chromium-browser libgl1-mesa-dri pprompt rpi-chromium-mods sonic-pi
  xserver-xorg-input-all
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 6 not upgraded.

        Then, if I do:

        git clone https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror
cd ~/MagicMirror
npm install && npm start

        as suggested above, I’m met with:

          Very weird indeed. Did you install Jessie or Jessie Lite?
          If I run the version commands, I get this on my pi:

          npm -v: 3.10.8
node -v: 6.9.1
nodejs -v: 6.9.1

          Please try this:

          sudo apt-get remove nodered -y
sudo apt-get remove nodejs nodejs-legacy -y
sudo apt-get remove npm -y
sudo curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_6.x | sudo bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
node -v
npm -v

          and then try to run the npm install && npm start again in your MagicMirror folder

            Ok, I ran all of that. Once I ran the node -v and npm -v commands I was met with:

            pi@raspberrypi:~ $ node -v
v0.8.16
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ npm -v
1.1.69

            So I’m assuming I’m still on super old versions. Any idea why that’s happening? Because if I run npm install && npm start, I’m getting the same errors I was getting before.

            Also - Jessie, not Jessie lite.

              But you did not receive any error message during removal and installation?

                  Anyone else got any ideas? Really want to get this thing going. I bought the Pi yesterday specifically for this :(

                    @EttVenter I would suggest a total reformatting of the SD card, get the Jessie lite image and put that on your sd card.

                    Then follow these instructions : https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/wiki/Jessie-Lite-Installation-Guide

                      I’ll give that a shot!

                        Ok, so that all went well until I got to:

                        Get and install MagicMirror with the Automatic Installer:

curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/master/installers/raspberry.sh | bash cd ~/MagicMirror

                        At which point, I get “No such file or directory”.

                        That feels like a small error that I should be able to figure out, but I just can’t seem to get past that point :/
