      Looks like electron 3.x is no longer available for the pi zero.

      I had to go back to the old version:

      diff --git a/package.json b/package.json
      index 14c7874..7a2aff4 100644
      --- a/package.json
      +++ b/package.json

      See also: https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/issues/1500 ; I just undid the change from that patch.

      Not sure if that has any other implications, for now this is still installing/building, let’s see if this works.

        The thing is that I’ve updated MM, but it returns me that error on rpi Zero, but the final result is that MM finally is updated, and everything works ok in all the modules I have installed. How can I downgrade to the old version of electron?

        Thanks.

        Quique.

                @tjk031 edit the package.json and change the electron version from ^3.0.13 to ^2.0.4

                then erase node_modules

                rm -rf node_modules
                

                and then

                npm install 
                

                again
