Unable to Install on RPi 3 b - unable to install dependencies

[bhepler]

@valid8r - My suggestion is to install the latest version of node separately and then run the installation script. Try npm install npm@latest -g to install the latest version of the Node Package Manager (npm).

Once that completes, try the MagicMirror installations script again and let us know what happens.

cd ~
bash -c "$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/master/installers/raspberry.sh)"

@bhepler Thanks! That worked.

@bhepler Hi so this is my first time working with a Raspberry Pi (and I have no programming experience) and I followed the instructions by Grensom on his youtube video, but I got the same issue: “unable to install dependencies!”

I tried ‘npm install npm@latest -g’ in the terminal, but all I got back was:
‘bash: npm: command not found’

Any suggestions? (once again, please instruct me like a clueless person calling technical support haha)

TIA

In case you didn’t find a solution yet, a user by the name sdetweil just helped me with a similar problem with my RPi 3 B+ running the latest Rasbian Stretch.

Here is the link to that discussion for everyone else who is stuck at this step too:
