      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)

              @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!!

                        look on my second command i wanted to install it

                        i forget remove the apt-get …

                        but ‘sudo rpi update’ is still not working

                        electron is the problem
