      @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?

            @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 if your mirror is not accessible from the internet I would not worry about these vulnerabilities.

                        @sdetweil does that mean I can’t use any modules that use the internet? im using ssh to do these codes and I plan to use alexa and stuff with it so it will require internet use, so what did you mean by that?

                          @jmartin1009 good point. I would run npm audit to get a list of the issues. These generally end up being challenging to solve completely.

                            @sdetweil I ran the audit and then I ran the audit fix and I got this:

                              @jmartin1009 I would see what that 1 high priority issue is.

                              At the bottom it says some breaking changes required to fix one issue. Breaking changes mean other code needs to be changed. So I would stay away from that fix

                                @sdetweil I ran the audit again and I believe the fix I did fixed it, but it says I still have 11 vulnerabilities, which are:

                                  As they are low or moderate risk, I would not worry about them.

                                      @jmartin1009 correct, run MagicMirror
                                      Copy the sample config to config.js and then fire it up!
