          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)

                      Those steps didn’t help.

                        Sorry to hear that.

                        For me it worked with those dependencies fixed.

                        pi@raspberrypi:~$ npm -v ; node -v
4.1.2
v7.7.1
pi@raspberrypi:~$ cd MagicMirror/
pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror$ cd node_modules/
pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror/node_modules$ npm install electron

> electron@1.6.6 postinstall /home/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules/electron
> node install.js

magicmirror@2.1.1 /home/pi/MagicMirror
└── electron@1.6.6

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror/node_modules$

                        Here the thread I’ve been looking last night: https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/9324
                        User: johannesjo made a fork: https://github.com/johannesjo/electron-prebuilt

                        But what I did was to downgrade the extract-zip:

                        pi@raspberrypi:~$ cd MagicMirror/
pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror$ cd node_modules/
pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror/node_modules$ npm uninstall extract-zip
.
.
.
pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror/node_modules$ npm install extract-zip@1.6.0
.
.
.
pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror/node_modules$ npm install electron

                        As a result of all this:

                        pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror$ npm install

> magicmirror@2.1.1 install /home/pi/MagicMirror
> cd vendor && npm install

magicmirror-vendors@ /home/pi/MagicMirror/vendor
├── font-awesome@4.7.0
├── moment@2.18.1
├── moment-timezone@0.5.13
└── weathericons@2.1.0


> magicmirror@2.1.1 postinstall /home/pi/MagicMirror
> sh installers/postinstall/postinstall.sh

MagicMirror installation successful!
pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror$

                        Hope it helps
