            After I installed MM using this command:
            git clone https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror

            then I ran:
            sudo apt-get install npm

            afterwards:
            cd MagicMirror

            npm install

            Then I tried

            npm install -g npm@latest

            but it didnt work also.
            I am running latest updated Raspbian on RPi 3 b+

              please try the following

              sudo apt-get remove nodejs nodejs-legacy nodered
              

              after that

              curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_$NODE_STABLE_BRANCH | sudo -E bash -
              sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
              npm install -g npm@latest
              

              after that enter in the repository with

              cd MagicMirror
              

              then install and run the app with

              npm install && npm start
              

              in case of errors please post here.

              why do not you use the automatic installation for the RPi 3 b +

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

                      Hi, Thank you for your help. I have been trying to install MM. At first, I had a trouble installing electron and node. Now I got dependencies error.

                      I’ve tried what you suggested and I got the following error.

                      During the installation of MM, I got Unable to install dependencies!.

                      Could you please help?

                        NPM install is giving error.

                        alt text

                        Help please.

                        I meet the same issue than you and I solved it by uninstalling nodejs

                        sudo apt-get remove nodejs
                        

                        and reinstall nodejs by using the MagicMirror install script

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

                        During the installation, npm install -g npm@latest give me this error

                        npm ERR! path /usr/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/ansi-regex
                        npm ERR! code EACCES

                        npm ERR! syscall access
                        npm ERR! Error: EACCES: permission denied, access '/usr/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/ansi-regex'
                        npm ERR!  { Error: EACCES: permission denied, access '/usr/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/ansi-regex'
                        npm ERR!   stack: 'Error: EACCES: permission denied, access \'/usr/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/ansi-regex\'',
                        npm ERR!   errno: -13,
                        npm ERR!   code: 'EACCES',
                        npm ERR!   syscall: 'access',
                        npm ERR!   path: '/usr/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/ansi-regex' }
                        npm ERR!
                        npm ERR! Please try running this command again as root/Administrator.
                        
                        

                        and I run same command as root to solved this

                        sudo npm install -g npm@latest
                        

                        Here is version of nodejs install by MagicMirror script :

                        Installed Node version: v9.11.2
