Installed successfully, won't start, pi3 magicmirror@2.6.0 nodejs@6.16.0

[dominigan]

I tried several times now installing using the automated script, trying the manual installs, and reading every guide I could find here. But when I run…

DISPLAY=:0 npm start

… from the MagicMirror directory, all I get is…

> magicmirror@2.6.0 start /home/pi/MagicMirror
> sh run-start.sh

npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE
npm ERR! errno 1
npm ERR! magicmirror@2.6.0 start: `sh run-start.sh`
npm ERR! Exit status 1
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.

npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:

The log says…

I’m a relative newbie and I’m struggling to figure out what is going on. Help?

Thanks!

Did you have any problems with the npm install command? Did that complete successfully?

Just be sure, try this:

cd ~/MagicMirror
npm install
npm start

Let us know what you receive.
