Read the statement by Michael Teeuw here.
Can't get MM to start, says it can't find electron, then electron won't start
-
@sdetweil it also says that “local package.json exists, but node_modules is missing, did you mean to install?”
-
@jmartin1009 yes
npm installand if you still have electron missing, then try to
npm install electron@3.0.10 -
@sdetweil do I do npm install in pi or magic mirror?
-
@jmartin1009 magigcmirror… u are installing the dependencies for that app
-
@sdetweil still says
electron: not foundCould this be because it says that node_modules is missing? I did both npm install and npm install electron@3.0.10 in MagicMirror.
-
@jmartin1009 npm install from inside the magicmirror folder should have created node_modules (thats its (npm) job)
erase MagicMirror folder,
download again
and then cd MagicMirror and then npm install -
@sdetweil another error, it says
npm ERR! file /home/pi/MagicMirror/package.json npm ERR! code EJSONPARSE npm ERR! JSON.parse Failed to parse json npm ERR! JSON.parse Unexpected end of JSON input while parsing near ' ' npm ERR! JSON.parse Failed to parse package. json data. npm ERR! JSON.parse package.json must be actual JSON, not just JavaScript. -
@jmartin1009 did u download the MagicMirror folder over again?
-
@sdetweil yes I deleted the contents of the old folder and changed the name and redownloaded MagicMirror
-
@jmartin1009 ok, from the /home/pi folder lets start again
cd ~ rm -rf whatever_the_old_folder_name_is rm -rf MagicMirror git clone https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror.git cd MagicMirror npm install -
@sdetweil okay I did all of that and it said it cloned and everthing, and then it rebooted during the install, now what? lol
-
@jmartin1009 should not reboot
-
@sdetweil oh it reboots everytime I install magicmirror, how do I prevent this? because it always reboots like 1/3 of the way through the progress bar and it always did it so I thought it was normal lol can I stop this? I have a pi 3+ btw
-
@jmartin1009 it also does that everytime I try to install electron so maybe that’s why it isn’t working :confused: is there any fix for this?
-
Sorry, I do not know. Mine never reboots.
How big is your memory card?
-
@sdetweil 32 gb
-
@sdetweil I believe u figured out why it was restarting, a common cause of it is lack of power, and some person had problems with their keyboard drawing too much power so I unplugged it and it went all the way through without rebooting, but I still got some issues, im left with

@jmartin1009 I think u need to restart the install
Erase the node_modules folder, and do it again
-
@sdetweil I erased node_modules and reinstalled magicmirror and got this
