first attempt .. gone wrong :)

cowboysdude

Do the manual install and don’t use SUDO… :)

davide

even executing it as root it is failing …and also manual installation it’s faling.
maybe the reason is very simple : it’s because I’m using rasbian server version ? Should I use raspbian with desktop enviroment ?

cowboysdude

Not sure about the version but I would just install plain old raspbian and try it again.

To be sure everything will work fine i would use the desktop version. Best option here is Jesse i think :)

Otherwise u can try this guide, cause with the lite versions of raspbian there are dependancies missing for the MagicMirror.
The guide works fine for me using raspbian stretch lite

ohh wow! that’s exactly what I was looking for … Thank you a lot! I will let you know if everything is ok!

finally here’s the solution :
as mentioned here, you should use this command for installation :

npm install --unsafe-perm=true

and now installation is succesfull!
