    When you clone the mm repo, you then run npm install in the mm folder.

      I had the same issue trying to install on the latest Ubuntu, I could not get it to work, I would install 16.04. 16.04 works great for me.

        I use ubuntu 16.04 LTS exclusively. I wipe the machine so that there is nothing on it except ubuntu. I fully update ubuntu and then install node like this:

        curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_6.x | sudo -E bash -

        The OS should ask you if you want to install curl at this point. Do so. If you have to repeat the curl command above, do so. Now on to the installation of MM.

        I like to do manual installations, meaning, I download the MM zip file instead of using the install command. I drag the MM folder to home and remove the “-master” from the name of the folder, leaving only MagicMirror as the name. Then, in the terminal, cd MagicMirror and then npm install

        I’ve never had a problem doing it this way. Good luck.
