Sam, shall I update my ~/MagicMirror/package.json file and try again?

Edit:

Just did.
It says I am on 2.10.0 already, even though it was interrupted on the electro download.

How can I force the upgrade or make it believe 2.9.0 is still active?
In the package.json file?

Edit 2:
Changed from 2.10.0 to 2.9.0 and now it is running.

@evroom no… just issue the command on the commandline

npm install electron@3.0.13

Is this a pi 0?

@surger13 ok, looks like we have to fight the manual way

do

cd ~/MagicMirror
git stash
git merge
npm install

took the manual way too because of the same probs. Now my Pi is downloading the electron v3.1.13 version with 3.01 kB/s. can I stop the installation process to update electron manually?

@ChrizZz I do not know

It looks like github has problems. I also cannot download other stuff from it with proper speed or without running into a timeout. Perhaps local or depends on your ISP region.

I started installing electron in a new terminal session and it is downloading now with 16 kB/s. Maybe a stupid decission, maybe not.

Current status: 45% downloaded in the new terminal session, 18.5% downloaded as part of the MM update.

//edit: I stopped the inital installation, downloaded the right electron file from a mirror and placed the zip file in the /home/pi/.cache/electron folder. After that I updated electron manually. It worked well and after that I started npm install of the new MM version again. Now everything is updated without waiting years to download the zip from Github.

@sdetweil Hi Sam, after weeks being off I saw availability of v2.10.0 :slightly_smiling_face:
I run your script ```
bash -c “$(curl -sL https://www.dropbox.com/s/lxzwyzohg61sppu/upgrade-script.sh?dl=0)” apply

Do I need to stop MM first or 'only' run the script in MagicMirror folder?

@bdream

Just open a new terminal and run the script. MM should not be running, I believe.
