@Jeff as the error tells you have to upgrade first node in order to update npm, you’re running node 0.10 there is already version 7.x

@strawberry-3.141

Can you tell me the right code, please?
I could try some versions, but I don’t want mess everything up.

I tied:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo npm cache clean -f
npm WARN npm npm does not support Node.js v0.10.29
npm WARN npm You should probably upgrade to a newer version of node as we
npm WARN npm can't make any promises that npm will work with this version.
npm WARN npm You can find the latest version at https://nodejs.org/
npm WARN using --force I sure hope you know what you are doing.

Oh snap, @strawberry-3-141 is right. Of course, I meant, that your nide version is too old. Did you try to update/install node via apt? Try apt-get update && apt-get upgrade or apt-get install nodejs and see, if it helps.

If it doesn’t work, follow the instructions here, to install a recent version of node: https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager/#debian-and-ubuntu-based-linux-distributions

great! That worked out.
Thanks alot

I was trying it that way

wget https://nodejs.org/dist/v4.0.0/node-v4.0.0-linux-armv7l.tar.gz 
tar -xvf node-v4.0.0-linux-armv7l.tar.gz 
cd node-v4.0.0-linux-armv7l

Just for the latest version…

But okay…

Now I need to install npm as you said in your first post?

Edit:
I think it works now. At least the screen pops up.
Just the weather forecast isn’t working right now.

Can you have look at the code if everythin is correct so far?

Today I reinstalled my Pi.
This time with Noob style, but with the image itself.

After that, the automatic MagicMirror installation worked finde. Everything was updated correctly. Yesterday it didn’t work at all.
Also I had the problem that google clalenders would not show up in the Magic Mirror.
Today everything works fine.

Maybe there is a problem with Noob installation?!
