Rpi 3B+, can't install

[delightedCrow]

I was having a ton of errors installing on a new Rpi 3B+ too. Following @NoNameRo 's suggestion on uninstalling & reinstalling node from source fixed it for me: https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/8431/npm-install-is-giving-error/9?page=1

Personally, I would try a manual install of MM instead of the install script which seems to falter at times.

• Rename your current MagicMirror folder (so you don’t lose it)
• Download MagicMirror from the Repo
• Rename the new MM folder to MagicMirror
• Run npm install in the new MagicMirror directory
• Run npm start in the new MagicMirror directory

At this point you should get an error message to create a config. That’s a good thing. It means MM is installed correctly and running. You just need a working config.

Would you please type correct commands? I’m not too good with commandline.
I used

mv MagicMirror MagicMirror2
bash -c "$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/master/installers/raspberry.sh)"

I see an error

[epi]

so I did

mv MagicMirror MagicMirror3
git clone https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror
npm start

and I see

Segmentation fault

Try git clone https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirrorthen cd MagicMirrorfollowed by npm install.
Looks to me you tried to start the MagicMirror before installing it.

I have set up WAN Port Forwarding to RPi, if there is somebody willing to help me.

I got the same issue and I installed manually.

1. install the latest Node.js version.

• Updates Debian apt package repository to include the NodeSource packages.
  curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_10.x | sudo -E bash -

• install Node.js
  sudo apt install -y nodejs

• Check your node version ( should be V 10.10.0)
  node -v

2. Clone the repository and check out the master branch: git clone https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror
3. Enter the repository: cd MagicMirror/
4. Install and run the app with: npm install && npm start
5. create a working config.

Still doesn’t work for me.
What I did is

1. Install fresh RASPBIAN STRETCH WITH DESKTOP
2. After install, configure wifi credentials and enable SSH access
3. Connect via SSH and proceed with

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_10.x | sudo -E bash -

sudo apt install -y nodejs

node -v

(got answer “v10.10.0”)

git clone https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror

cd MagicMirror/

npm install && npm start

[epi]

any clue what to do next?

[MadScientist]

Not sure this will help but you could try npm install -g electron within your MagicMirror directory.

If that doesn’t work, try npm install electron@2.0.0 inside your MM directory.

[epi]

Issue found, everything works now.
Problem was my SD card, it, is (becomes) corrupt at some point.

[MadScientist]

That’s why I run mine from a cheap SSD (Kingston A400, 120GB iirc). Much faster and no risk of corrupting it. I paid 27€ for my SSD. At this price I think it is worth considering buying one.

Please try the following

sudo apt-get remove nodejs nodejs-legacy nodered

after that

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_8.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
sudo npm install -g npm@latest

after that enter in the repository with

cd MagicMirror

If have not install MM, use this from github

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

then install and run the app with

npm install && npm start

This method worked for me.
