        same, i thought its because the electron doesn’t work look http://www.bilder-upload.eu/show.php?file=967e7b-1477258720.png

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

            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.

                  @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

                      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?

                                    In your first screenshot the command install is missing

                                      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 …
