npm dependencies not installed on fresh MM2 installation

MWel1977

@sandy2503 I’ve used: Raspbian Stretch with desktop and recommended software.
and I’m just up and running again. Meaning I’ve Rasbian setup on my Pi 3A+ and typing this in the Chromium browser.
First I’ll try to install the MagicMirror. Yesterday I installed it at work via an open network (guest login)
and at random times one is thrown out of it. So that could also be an issue.
Now I’m at home in my own network.
So fingers crossed!

NOPE! It’s not due to poor geust network at work. I still can’t install the Dependencies.
I do have Node because node -v is resulting in v8.11.1.
but it can’t find npm. so I’ll install npm meself.

I’m starting to get angry!!!

Now it can’t find Electron. :face_with_steam_from_nose: :face_with_steam_from_nose: :angry_face:

UPDATE:
Found that npm i electron in the folder “MagicMirror” does the trick.
But now it “ENOENT” that’s causing problems!
