Failed to install dependencies RPI3 B+

@Mykle1 Thanks, but …npm command not found

[sdetweil]

Yes, npm isn’t in the base stretch install.

Run

sudo apt-get install npm

Then do the npm install from the mm folder

[Mykle1]

Ahh, I assumed that node and npm were already installed. My bad

npm is installed now , could you elaborate on “then do the npm install from the mm folder”

@fredo55

Open a terminal window.

Change directory by typing cd MagicMirror and enter.

Then type npm install and enter.

@Mykle1 - They were included in previous Raspbian distributions. Ever since about December or so, the installation script hasn’t been working.

mm is short for MagicMirror. Too long to type over and over!

Thank you guys, I’ll start from scratch, something else went wrong pm2 giving me a bunch of errors.

@fredo55 if from scratch, make sure to install npm before the MM install
