I just installed a module and it asked me to update NPM think i did it in the root directory not MagicMirror one can be sure.
This is what worked for me
sudo npm i -g npmsudo npm i -g npm didn’t work for me, got this error:
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo npm i -g npm /usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm/bin/npm-cli.js:85 let notifier = require('update-notifier')({pkg}) ^^^ SyntaxError: Block-scoped declarations (let, const, function, class) not yet supported outside strict mode at exports.runInThisContext (vm.js:53:16) at Module._compile (module.js:414:25) at Object.Module._extensions..js (module.js:442:10) at Module.load (module.js:356:32) at Function.Module._load (module.js:311:12) at Function.Module.runMain (module.js:467:10) at startup (node.js:134:18) at node.js:961:3

@rmeskill try do it in the MagicMirror folder
sudo npm i -g npm -
@paddyhughes -g means global, not mm specific.

sudo npm i -g npmSudo still doesn’t work, but I tried it again just ‘npm i -g npm’ in the MagicMirror folder. Now I’m trying npm install again in the MagicMirror folder again, so I guess we’ll see, but it looks like it’s stuck at the same point as last time

@rmeskill looks like node is also downlevel

Do you mean I should upgrade it? this isn’t enough:
pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ node -v v11.6.0
-
@rmeskill that is a surprise
-
Now I’m trying to remove npm and nodejs to start again, but even after I’ve run apt-get remove npm nodejs I still get this:
pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ which npm /home/pi/.nvm/versions/node/v11.6.0/bin/npm pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ which node /home/pi/.nvm/versions/node/v11.6.0/bin/node

.nvm/
looks like node version manager (nvm) was used to install these…
you could temporarily remove those folders from the PATH environment variable.
or search for remove nvm… and found
No, all you need to do is remove $NVM_DIR (~/.nvm is the default), and the relevant 2 lines in your profile file (but you also can leave those behind, since they’re guarded by a file existence check).
