Unable to install dependencies, NPM install not working

[MichMich]

@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.

@MichMich For some reason I can’t seem to post my full post, saying it’s been flagged as spam. I’m doing everything as per the manual process on github. My node/npm versions show as:

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ dpkg -s node | grep Version
Version: 0.3.2-7.4
pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ dpkg -s npm | grep Version
Version: 1.4.21+ds-2

And here’s what I think is the important bit of my npm install output:

npm WARN deprecated electron-prebuilt@1.3.8: electron-prebuilt has been renamed to electron. For more details, see http://electron.atom.io/blog/2016/08/16/npm-install-electron

I think the issue is from that first unable to install dependencies issue. Maybe the electron-v1.3.8-linux-arm.zip is in /.electron folder was in the dependencies that were not installed causing npm install to have issues

[jamlid]

I can’t find .electron/ within the MagicMirror folder. Am I supposed to clone electron separately and install that first?

[MichMich]

@jamlid Your Node version is extremely old. Just use the installer as noted in the documentation.

[jamlid]

@MichMich I’m running a Pi 1 so the installer isn’t compatible. I ran through the manual instructions and used apt-get for my Node. (Bear with me as I’m not too hot on Linux. I worked on CentOS servers for a while a few years ago but that’s about it)

maybe us pi firmware is old ?

cause i can’t use ‘sudo rpi update’
command not found

[jamlid]

@geeflaxx I’ve tried it on a fresh install of Jessie, but you’re right, I don’t have rpi-update either. Come to think of it, I did install Jessie Lite rather than the full verison. Not sure what exactly is stripped out of the Lite version and if it’s enough to make a difference to this?

Did you try sudo apt-get install rpi-update to install rpi-updat before running it?
