ERRNO 126, ELIFECYCLE, permission denied on RPI3

sdetweil

npm install --only=prod

as the chromedriver is only needed for testing… which u won’t be doing…

if you used the automated install script then you wouldn’t have these problems…

Thank you, Sam, for your reply!

MagicMirror installed successfully with the --only=prod command, the error code about chromedriver has disappeared.

However, I am still getting the same error message (errno 126) when trying to npm start the program, in fact, the exact same error message.

I am really curious about why I am getting a permission error, as I’ve installed it without any privileges.

@someone123416 did u erase the node_modules folder

cd ~/MagicMirror
rm -rf node_modules
npm install --only=prod

Thank you very much for your reply.

I’ve tried earasing the node_modules folder, but still no luck. Exact same error message.

@someone123416 back in your original post, you said
“I’ve hooked up my rpi directly to a display via hdmi n everything works fine”

It works on a real display, but doesn’t some other way?

So, r u doing this over vnc? Or?

someone123416

Yes, it is hooked up to a real 24in display over HDMI.

I am not running this over vnc.

@someone123416 I guess I would delete the ~/.npm folder.

Have to rename/delete the existing MagicMirror folder
