        • /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)

          @Nomis said in Electron NPM Error:

          https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/2460/magicmirror-fails-to-install-during-electron-installation

          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

                Soon as I wrote that…

                    I ran into some trouble myself after installing the MMM-PIR-Sensor (the whole MM is not starting :D )
                    Mental Note: Remember to BackUp stable builds!

                    I don’t see the need of using sudo for npm install.
                    I’ve tried to replicate your error(took a while to undo the fixes):

                    npm list
                    
                    npm ERR! extraneous: gulp-stylelint@3.9.0 /home/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules/gulp-stylelint
                    npm ERR! extraneous: stylelint@7.8.0 /home/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules/stylelint
                    
                    npm purge
                    
                    npm WARN grunt-stylelint@0.8.0 requires a peer of stylelint@^7.8.0 but none was installed.
                    npm WARN stylelint-config-standard@16.0.0 requires a peer of stylelint@^7.8.0 but none was installed.
                    
                    npm rebuild
                    got this: coffee-script@1.10.0 should be installed with -g // npm WARN prefer global jsonlint@1.6.2 should be installed with -g
                    
                    cd /MagicMirror/node_modules/
                    npm install  coffee-script@1.10.0 -g
                    npm install jsonlint@1.6.2 -g
                    npm install stylelint
                    npm install colorguard@1.2.0 -g
                    
                    npm list (again yes)
                    
                    

                    you will get an error: npm ERR! extraneous: stylelint@7.10.1 /home/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules/stylelint because we instaleld manually.

                    Give it a try and let us know.

                          They fixed the issue with extract-zip. Thanks.
