          I am having the same problem. Wiped the pi and reflashed the image from scratch. Spent a few hours myself tonight trying various things to fix it without getting anywhere. Same exact errors as pasted above.

            I’m getting the same problem. Started from scratch a few times but no luck. Finally managed to have it installed to the point where I could run using node serveronly then running on a browser. Also had to use ~/MagicMirror/vendor npm install as this seem to have been skipped in the auto installation when it hit the electron error.

              Is there any way we can get a dev to look at this?

                    • /home/pi/MagicMirror/vendors npm install (This installed some missing stuff that seems to have not installed)
                    • /home/pi/MagicMirror/ npm install (This failed, but showed that electron was missing. Only failed due to permission)
                    • /home/pi/MagicMirror/ sudo npm install (This died with error ECONNRESET, so tried again)
