I used a Raspberry pi 2 with a fresh install of Raspbian Jessie and I followed the step by step tutorial (https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/236/complete-setup-tutorial)

I believe @paviro is the Electron God around here. But he’s busy with school at the moment so it may be a bit before he responds.

Hi,

Same error for me (Raspberry Pi 3 / Jessie)

Thanks

as I c, you’ve installed your MagicMirror in the /root directory.
I’m not sure if this is working so far.

Try to install everything as pi and not as root in the /home/pi directory and let us know what happend.

try whoami -> pi

update your distribution with sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

then cd /home/pi or only cd

and install again: curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/master/installers/raspberry.sh | bash

@Bangee
I just try to launch the autoinstaller as pi in /home/pi and it works !

Thanks a lot ;)
