      @sdetweil thanks for the support, that fixed it!

      It looks like npm was broken. I removed node and npm then installed node v10.20.1 and things seem to be working again. Running npm install --only=prod let the install run without getting upset about electron!

        I ran your raspberry.sh install script on a Raspberry Pi Zero W yesterday. I started with a fresh install of Rasbian. The script completed with some warnings, but the Magic Mirror started and seems to be running OK. What does this error mean? Should I try to fix it even though MagicMirror seems to be running OK?

        The errored log file was located at /home/pi/.npm/_logs/2020-04-14T22_35_02_257Z-debug.log

        Here is the snippet from the end:

          @RushHour99 that error is because some of the components used for the automated testing aren’t found. It’s ok.

          I need to recheck. I thought I had disabled trying to load those parts.

          All looks good

            @sdetweil Thanks for the reply. Magic Mirror does appear to be working just fine on my Pi Zero W. I only ran the install script. Should I run the upgrade script too?

              @RushHour99 no. Upgrade is for every 3 months when the next release comes out. the scripts are only for MagicMirror… not the base OS, or any modules.

                @RushHour99 looks like something changed between April 11 and April 15 in the npm tree, as it skipped the electron-chromdriver on the 11th and tries to install it today. is IS because of the specton library that is in the DEV tree, which i request to be skipped with --only=prod

                so much fun…
                I opened an issue against the scripts
                https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/issues/5
                to track it

                      @Mykle1 yeh, they updated the repo version in 2.10, and were completely removed in 2.11 to an outside repo…

                        I got a new Pi Zero W, so I start a fresh install with a raspbian lite stretch (2019-04-08 version) but I got this error:

                        Whats the problem?
                        my pi is too old?
                        I got the wrong raspbian version?
                        thanks
