Unable to install dependencies, NPM install not working

@MichMich I seem to be having the same problem as folks above. Whenever I try npm install from inside the MM folder, the electron installation either stalls or fails.

@MichMich, yes i did run npm install. I’ve just finished a new installation of this project.
Step by step by the tutorial. And, same problem.

electron-v1.3.8-linux-arm.zip is in /.electron folder

Did the npm install finish without issues?

Sounds strange but did set a system time?
Sometimes it’s messing around without.

I have the same error with a newly installed system

Hello guys, I have the same problem.

Here is the code:

Cloning MagigMirror Done!
Installing dependencies …
bash: line 109: nom: command not found
Unable to install dependencies!

Do you an idea on how to solve this Problem?

Thanks a lot and many greetings from Germany :)

Hello guys,

I tried to overwrite everything. Well, I installed NPM with:

sudo apt-get install nodejs npm node-semver

After that, I renamed the initial Magic Mirror folder. Then I tried to installed the MM2 again.

Conlusion:

I have the same problem as @joey12725 .

Any suggestions?

Yep, same issues as everyone else.

@MichMich : Need any specific output or logs, etc. to help? I’m desperate to get my mirror up and running again and happy to help.

Interesting to note though, is since formatting my Pi to do a fresh install and it failing, I’ve really missed my Magic Mirror. I hadn’t realised how much a part of my daily routine it had become, using it!

@jamlid My wife and I noticed the same when our Mirror was off a few weeks ago. Can’t live without it. ;)

About solving the issue:

What steps did you try to install it?
And what did you try to fix it?
How do you try start your mirror?
Does this repository work on your pi? https://github.com/electron/electron-quick-start

If the last repository doesn’t work for you, please open an issue in that repo, since it is a issue with electron.
