Doesn't contain package.json file

[sdetweil]

many components in a javascript application need to have their versions match the surrounding runtime. grpc is one of those… it will run in and outside the electron browser…

the electron-rebuild module is loaded as part of the base,
so you would do

cd ~/MagicMirror
node_modules/.bin/electron_rebuild

Just closing notes. I was able to fix this!

@sdetweil provided extra commands.

cd ~/MagicMirror
npm install electron-rebuild
node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild

That worked for me, but I was faced with a new error.

Error: Cannot find module 'node_helper_.

Fixed that by running

cd -/MagicMirror
git checkout modules/node_modules/node_helper/index.js

Thanks for the help guys!

I had to reinstall MM and had to go through all of this again. Rebuilding electron fixed the issue and I found out that the git command I used doesn’t work anymore. Zzz… Updating should help.

cd -/MagicMirror
git checkout modules/node_modules/node_helper/index.js

@allancherianbiju in version 2.10 we fixed this problem, by moving the file to a different location.

@sdetweil Oh! That’s great! Onward, then :D
