    run-start.sh: 4: run-start.sh: electron: not found
    npm ERR! file sh
    npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE
    npm ERR! errno ENOENT
    npm ERR! syscall spawn
    npm ERR! magicmirror@2.6.0 start: sh run-start.sh
    npm ERR! spawn ENOENT
    npm ERR!
    npm ERR! Failed at the magicmirror@2.6.0 start script.
    npm ERR! This is probably not a problem with npm. There is likely additional logging output above.

      @Stevo Please provide a little more info about your installation:

      Are you on a Raspberry Pi or something different
      How did you install the MM?
      Have you run npm install?
      Are you trying to start it from SSH or on the computer directly?
