        @sdetweil I don’t see what the problem is.

        After upgrading the npm and node to the latest version, I installed the Magic Mirror, and I wonder if that’s the problem.

        And I did the npm install python3 and I don’t think this is the cause.

            @emrhssla which MM are u working in?

            /home/pi/Desktop/Beauty (see its config/config.js
            or
            /home/pi/Desktop/Beauty/MagicMirror one? (see ITS config/config.js

            they are different (u have MagicMirror installed INSIDE a MagicMirror folder)
            to fix this, in /home/pi/Desktop/Beauty do

            mv MagicMirror ..
            

            now you will have

            /home/pi/Desktop/Beauty
            and
            /home/pi/Desktop/MagicMirror

              I first ran a magic mirror at /home/pi/Desktop/MagicMirror . But after failing, another one was installed. Running /home/pi/Desktop/Beauty/MagicMirror gave the same result.

              In conclusion, there are two magic mirrors: /home/pi/Desktop/MagicMirror and /home/pi/Desktop/Beauty/MagicMirror.

              I’ll try it tomorrow, but maybe it doesn’t matter.

                  when the mirror app is running, can u access from another system at http://mirror_ip:mirror_port

                  I solved it!!
                  A month ago, /fi/MagicMirror was installed.
                  /pi/Magicmirror puts the code above, so node_helper.js work well.

                  But I don’t know why /pi/Desktop/Beauty/Magicmirror isn’t working. Is this because of /pi/Magicmirror?

                  Thanks to you, I solved it. Thank you all the time.

                    because its a mess with all that macOS level binaries installed…

                    i had to

                    rm -rf  ~/Desktop/Beauty/node_modules/electron 
                    cp ~/MagicMirror/node_modules/electron ~/Desktop/Beauty/node_modules
                    

                    to get the UI to show on the pi…

                    i tested before by executing Electron to show some page
                    in a terminal window ON THE PI
                    do

                    ~/Desktop/Beauty/node_modules/electron/dist/electron http://cnn.com
                    

                    this should open electron to show some web page

                    initially I got a frame, with empty insides
