Cannot restart my mirror for months

your node and npm are way down level

we are currently requiring node 14 and npm 6

if you use my MagicMirror upgrade script it will also upgrade node and npm

see
https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts

BUT the upgrade script only works if mm is installed in ~/MagicMirror

a quick workaround would be to create a linked folder

cd ~
ln -s realpath MagicMirror

where realpath for you is Documents/MagicMirrorJan2021

u can delete the linked folder after the update

note update is a 2 part process.
1st is a test run to see if there will be issues
2nd does the update,big u use the apply parm

but it will upgrade node/npm on the 1st pass

I have tried your suggestions but it seems I’m struggling to update npm and node js versions. I continue to obtain an error message related to electron-chromedriver @13.0.0 install script.

Does anyone have any suggestions, please ?

sudo npm install n -g
n install 14

@sdetweil I managed to update it finally. Now I just have a black screen to fix to show my modules, so it feels close 😁

@richardh151 my update script fixes the black screen problems too
