      Just tried again following this guide:
      https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/wiki/Jessie-Lite-Installation-Guide
      so:
      sudo apt-get update
      sudo apt-get upgrade
      sudo apt-get install xinit xserver-xorg
      sudo apt-get install lxde-core
      sudo apt-get install lightdm
      sudo apt-get install git
      sudo apt-get install libxss1
      sudo apt-get install libnss3
      sudo apt-get install unclutter
      then once it said to use the autoinstaller i went with manual installation.
      After git clone i cd into MM and tried npm install… Ofc i didn’t work cause of missing npm so i tried with the simplest sudo apt-get install npm. After that i tried to verify node version with node -v but it did not gave any response. I tried anyway with sudo npm install into mm folder and it started… after a while it failed. This is the error i got, log attached.

        @mafin could you give me the exact command lint you used? In that guide the only thing said about the installation is to use the automatic installer…
        Using it i’m stuck here: (is it complete or stuck?)

          No you are stuck ^^
          It is done. You can safely ignore warnings ;)
          Just copy and rename the sample config.js and start the mirror in the MagicMirror folder with using „npm Start“
          Or better use pm2
          Take a look at the great tutorials in the Forum.

              didn’t expect that ^^

              try going to your MagicMirror folder and type npm install electron@1.4.15
              Maybe it will say, that this version is invalid.
              Check the version here: /home/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules/electron/dist/version

              or try it global sudo npm install -g electron@1.4.15

              Question: Did u first install it manually and then with the automatic installer?
              If so, did u delete your MagicMirror folder before using the automatic installer? If not, maybe this causes the error.
              So try deleting the MagicMirror folder and then use the automatic installer again.

                            Ok i checked your earlier posts again.
                            U did execute the whole stuff as root user. Thats not necessary and even not good!
                            I don’t know what else u did as root, but maybe first try to delete the whole MagicMirror Folder and run the command without sudo.
                            bash -c "$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/master/installers/raspberry.sh)"

                            Or try a new installation of the raspbian and begin with this (for a full raspbian) or this (for a lite raspbian) tutorial. Do it exactly as its wrote down!

                                @cruunnerr after an auto install without sudo, made it work starting the installation of electron for the 2nd time in it’s folder. Now everything runs smooth if i give him commands but 1:
                                -server only does not work, i can’t access it remotely
                                -pm2 start does not work, the display goes all black but no module is loaded, it stays black. I tried with both my old config and the example config
                                -maybe local launch does not work too? i have no idea since it’s really hard to connect a mouse and keyboard. If i use a VNC can i start it with npm start only?
                                any idea?

                                  If i use a VNC can i start it with npm start only?

                                  Yes.

                                  Since i started my project a few weeks/month ago i have had some trouble, too. But it was all about my inexperience. So at this point im out at all, sorry.
                                  Hope someone can help you.
                                  But if i said before: Reading the many tutorials and do it like it’s written there brought me to the goal.
                                  Only difference to you was, that i was using the early magic mirror versions.
                                  Maybe u should give it a last try with Version 2.1.3 and updating later or hoping that there are other guys who can help you. :(

                                    I too have the same problems. In another thread started a few days ago because I have the same issues.
                                    Started with Stretch, then went back to an old Jessie Lite version.
                                    I have done the automatic install, the manual install, as root and not as root.
                                    All fail at the same place. I currently have 5 MM running on PI3, then the update came and tried on one device when it crashed. I will not touch the others until this is resolved.
                                    If someone fixes this can they post the steps they used and a link to the image that they used as well.
                                    This is getting very frustrating. All my mirrors went together in a matter of an hour or so with no problems. Setting the modules and css is another thing though.
                                    Any help is very much appreciated.

                                        Please let me know. If you make It work could you share It as an ISO ti flash? Would be so good

                                          I too am keeping abreast of this. I have had 5 installs that went so well that after the update, I can not get it installed.
                                          Are we the only ones having problems.
                                          Do the install directions need to be changed. Luckily I have backed up every sd card so I am safe, but need to figure out if I do anything to them now (besides the MM upgrade) will they crash.

                                            I think i figured out what went wrong ;)

                                            i set up a new raspbian (Desktop Version) and could install the MagicMirro without any issues.

                                            IMPORTANT:

                                            while the installation of MagicMirror (automatic installer) u will see this:

                                            Cloning MagicMirror Done!
                                            Installing dependencies ...
                                            npm WARN deprecated coffee-script@1.10.0: CoffeeScript on NPM has moved to "coffeescript" (no hyphen)
                                            npm WARN prefer global coffee-script@1.10.0 should be installed with -g
                                            npm WARN prefer global jsonlint@1.6.2 should be installed with -g
                                            
                                            > uws@0.14.5 install /home/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules/uws
                                            > node-gyp rebuild > build_log.txt 2>&1 || exit 0
                                            

                                            When u arrived this, it seems the installation is done. But wrong! just wait. it will take some time even if there is no cursor blinking.

                                            Just wait and you will see some more installation steps:

                                            Wait again:

                                            0_1515181564303_Bildschirmfoto 2018-01-05 um 20.44.47.png

                                            wait again ^^ and u will be asked if u want to use pm2. say YES! :

                                            0_1515181586411_Bildschirmfoto 2018-01-05 um 20.44.58.png

                                            Finally u will see this:

                                            0_1515181641602_Bildschirmfoto 2018-01-05 um 20.45.04.png

                                            And after a few seconds the magic mirror will start automatically and u can enjoy :D

                                            Edit:
                                            so just to get sure, here are the quick steps i did:

                                            1. loaded the newest raspbian stretch with desktop from here

                                            2. copy to SD card with ApplePi-Baker

                                            3. put an empty file named “ssh” on the boot directory to enable ssh

                                            4. start the pi

                                            5. via ssh sudo raspi-config
                                              set up some configurations like Network-Name, Screen resolution, enabled VNC, expand filesystem etc.

                                            6. reboot

                                            7. sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get upgrade
                                              this will take a while

                                            8. sudo rpi-update
                                              this will take a while, too

                                            9. reboot

                                            10. bash -c "$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/master/installers/raspberry.sh)"

                                            Then just wait! ;)
