npm start error?

romain

@longod I’m using the v7.9.0 . try to install an higher version of node

strawberry 3.141

@longod try npm install --unsafe-perm

longod

@romain Okay I’ve updated to v7.7.1. I then tried DISPLAY=0: npm start and I got a similar message as before, however there is no longer a ERR! node v4.2.1 message, it skips over that part. Some progress!

longod

@strawberry-3.141 I gave that a go and checked npm -v, now its at 4.5.0 and is in the same boat as the node message that I was getting when I try to do DISPLAY=0: npm start. There still is the rest of the npm ERR! messages, just not the npm ERR! node v4.2.1 and npm ERR! npm v2.14.7

I realized that it is telling me to go to a different log now when I do npm start, which is npm ERR! /home/pi/.npm/_logs/2017-04-27T15_23_04_547Z-debug.log. In there it gives me this message:

Hi @longod, I have just installed MM on my Rpi 0 and I’m facing the exact same issue as you. Did you finally find the solution ??
Thanks!

adil

@adil It looks like the issue was linked to missing modules like clock.
After I went to the vendor folder and installed using npm (see command below), I was able to launch MM successfully.

cd ~/MagicMirror/vendor
npm install
