        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

            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

                          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 :/

                            @EttVenter and if you run curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/master/installers/raspberry.sh
                            Without the bash cd command?

                              @broberg Then i get this:

                              # This is an installer script for MagicMirror2. It works well enough

                                @EttVenter you have to use the | bash part, because what is doing is the following, curl will load the script from github and then you pipe it right into the bash command to execute the script otherwise you would just load the file

                                Please create a github issue if you need help, so I can keep track

                                  @strawberry-3.141 Ok so what do I do then? Because if I run the command with the bash part of the command, it tells me “No such file or directory”. So how do I solve that?

                                    @EttVenter did you probably start the command from a wrong directory? do cd ~ first

                                      pi@raspberrypi:~ $ cd ~
                                      pi@raspberrypi:~ $ curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/master/installers/raspberry.sh | bash cd ~/MagicMirror
                                      bash: cd: No such file or directory
                                      pi@raspberrypi:~ $ 
                                      

                                      Then I even went ahead and manually created that directory, and it still doesn’t work:

                                      pi@raspberrypi:~ $ mkdir MagicMirror
                                      pi@raspberrypi:~ $ ls
                                      Desktop  Documents  Downloads  MagicMirror  Music  Pictures  Public  Templates  Videos
                                      pi@raspberrypi:~ $ curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/master/installers/raspberry.sh | bash cd ~/MagicMirror
                                      bash: cd: No such file or directory
                                      pi@raspberrypi:~ $

                                        @EttVenter just remove the directory magicmirror again that you created and run the command curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/master/installers/raspberry.sh | bash as it is in the readme after it was successful do cd MagicMirror

                                        Please create a github issue if you need help, so I can keep track

                                          @strawberry-3.141 said in Total n00b and can’t get this thing to work. Please help!:

                                          cd MagicMirror

                                          That was going well until:

                                          Cloning MagicMirror Done!
                                          Installing dependencies ...
                                          npm ERR! cb() never called!
                                          Unable to install dependencies!
                                          
                                          

                                          Honestly, this process is awful. “All you need to do is run 1 command!”. 1 command my ass. I’ve been fidgeting with this thing for a full day and I haven’t even got this frikken thing installed yet.

                                          I’m really, really stoked that you guys are all helping me. Really. And I know that we’ll get this thing working. But the “packaging” kinda lied to me.
