Blank screen when Running Magic Mirror on Raspian and RP3.

@Mykle1 Yeah I realize that, however I do not get any “modules” to load. Here is the output from the command and I ran the install of electron as sudo and checked to see if any of the permissions changed. However I didn’t get any errors when I ran it under “sudo”

You’ll certainly have to update node and npm. I had similar problems when I did a manual install on a laptop and updating those cleared things up for me.

Mine:

`Mykle@Mykle-Desktop MINGW32 ~/MagicMirror
$ node --version
v6.10.2

Mykle@Mykle-Desktop MINGW32 ~/MagicMirror
$ npm --version
3.10.10
`

[lagoon7]

@cowboysdude yes I did.

@Mykle1 Ok after that, I went to update node which updated npm.
Using this script for raspberry pi:

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_7.x | sudo -E bash -

I then deleted the magicmirror home directory, downloaded the installer script from the GIT repo, checked it again for versions and installs.

1. I ran the script as a normal user. It completed successfully.
2. Then ran the npm start command.
3. Now magic Mirror is working.

Thanks!
