Unable to install dependencies, NPM install not working

[joey12725]

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

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

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

@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?

hi guys,

i have actually the same problem.
i started with a fresh version of jessie with pixel and followed the setup tutorial mentioned above.
with update upgrade a new kernel was installed.
i also recognized that there have been a few lines telling me that “electron” has now a new name…maybe this could be some reason?

electron-quick-start is also not working!!
