Did you install the latest version of node.js?

Hi. Can you do

sudo cat /home/pi/MagicMirror/npm-debug.log

and post some of that code?

@hartattack yes I have, I even launched the automatic installation couple times to be sure.

Check current Node installation ...
Node currently installed. Checking version number.
Minimum Node version: v5.1.0
Installed Node version: v6.10.2
No Node.js upgrade nessecery.
It seems like MagicMirror is already installed.
To prevent overwriting, the installer will be aborted.
Please rename the ~/MagicMirror folder and try again.

@gshimself thanks for your help, here is the code i got from the debug log

I have also this code showing up when I want to install MagicMirror, thoughts ?

I think I found the problem ! It was a problem with Electron. I followed some advice giving in this thread: https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/issues/145

“running “sudo npm install electron” (after the error message) in the terminal on the gui it worked starting in the terminal on the gui.”
