(from the MagicMirror folder)

Step 1: $ npm cache clean --force

Step 2: Delete node_modules by $ rm -rf node_modules folder or delete it manually by going into the directory and right-click > delete. 

Step 2a: Delete package-lock.json file too.

Step 3: npm install

To start again, $ npm start

@vdotjay ok, does sh exist? and electron?

ls ~/MagicMirror/node_modules/electron/dist

[nischi]

sh is a command which is runing on unix systems (such as macos, linux) do you try that on a windows machine?

[sdetweil]

@nischi he is running ubuntu linux

[nischi]

@sdetweil oh i only read the error, my fault, sorry.

[vdotjay]

@sdetweil Hi.
Electron is there but Sh isn’t

[sdetweil]

@vdotjay said in Failed at the magicmirror@2.7.1 start script.:

but Sh isn’t

lowercase sh, right?
