Troubles updating to 2.6.0

[azuettel]

I ran into troubles when updating to 2.6.0, before on 2.5.0 everything worked fine.

I get errors when update with git pull && npm install, below the npm debug_log

0 info it worked if it ends with ok
1 verbose cli [ '/usr/bin/node', '/usr/bin/npm', 'start' ]
2 info using npm@1.4.21
3 info using node@v8.11.1
4 verbose run-script [ 'prestart', 'start', 'poststart' ]
5 info prestart magicmirror@2.6.0
6 info start magicmirror@2.6.0
7 verbose unsafe-perm in lifecycle true
8 info magicmirror@2.6.0 Failed to exec start script
9 error magicmirror@2.6.0 start: `sh run-start.sh`
9 error Exit status 127
10 error Failed at the magicmirror@2.6.0 start script.
10 error This is most likely a problem with the magicmirror package,
10 error not with npm itself.
10 error Tell the author that this fails on your system:
10 error     sh run-start.sh
10 error You can get their info via:
10 error     npm owner ls magicmirror
10 error There is likely additional logging output above.
11 error System Linux 4.14.90-v7+
12 error command "/usr/bin/node" "/usr/bin/npm" "start"
13 error cwd /home/pi/MagicMirror
14 error node -v v8.11.1
15 error npm -v 1.4.21
16 error code ELIFECYCLE
17 verbose exit [ 1, true ]

when I manually try to start via npm start it states that

> magicmirror@2.6.0 start /home/pi/MagicMirror
> sh run-start.sh

run-start.sh: 4: run-start.sh: electron: not found

so I tried to install/update electon but had no luck

Your version of npm is way too old - install the latest version through the terminal:
sudo npm install -g npm

@azuettel - What command did you use to update Electron?

[sdetweil]

@azuettel u are running a very old version of npm, 1.x

Should be v 6 at least.
