Tha’s weird. You could try installing ‘debug’:
npm install debug

@MichMich @K-w-b its because he is on a pi2, armv6l…
he needs to do
npm install --only=prod
to NOT try to load the chromedriver, which doesn’t exist… (same as our optional dependency for electron on armv6l) (I think its spectron which is dragging in the chromedriver)@K-w-b please use the automated install script… it fixes a bunch of problems om armv6l systems.
see here , https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts
read the readme online for the command to issue…
u will need to erase the MagicMirror folder to run install again -
thank you @MichMich and @sdetweil for the responsed.
before I saw Sam’s notice, I wiped the SD card again and started with a new raspbian version from scratch. Everything from the manual installation worked fine now - MM launches. The only thing I might have done different is rebooting raspbi after upgrading
sudo apt full-upgrade
- Needless to say that this is a major facepalm on my side.
So to whoever reads this in the future - follow the instructions shown on the screen (!) -
@K-w-b great news!!,
which raspian version were u trying and which worked?
