Fresh install of MM on pi 3- buster

[bigmans]

Running into some problems with this install. I had a working mirror ~a year ago but it stopped working and I didn’t have the time to fix it until now. Formated card, and did a fresh install of the latest OS and followed the manual install on docs.magicmirror.builders/

I had some problems with npm install (it kept crashing and rebooting with no warnings, after running it enough it said it was successful) Tried to run the

npm install electron@6.0.12

and ran into some errors too. Looking for some guidance to get this build back online

Thanks

User @sdetweil has a script/installer that does all the dirty work for you, and it does it well. He’ll put the link here when he sees this post.

All credit to him. :-)

@bigmans what version of node and npm are you running?

node -v should be 10.1x.y (mine is 10.19.0)
npm -v should be 6.1x.y (mine is 6.14.3)

the 2.11 install will try to install electron 6.1.7

use my script, it handles a lot of the issues
