Installation Error - Electron installer issue

[Bangee]

Hey there!

You should not install MagicMirror as Root in the /root directory.

check out this:
https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/259/installing-mm2/10

I think it is the same issue.

@Bangee said in Installing MM2:

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

I found this one
https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/236/complete-setup-tutorial/2
and it worked like a charm… (and it it so detailed even I could not mess it up)

On top of that, it is lean and made my WiFi FINALLY work too. Now all I need is the toaster attachment to my Pi

Best of luck!
