Failed to install dependencies RPI3 B+

[fredo55]

After flashing my rpi3 B+ with 2018-11-13-raspbian-stretch-full and proceded to run the one-line bash to install MagicMirror2, I got a message of failed to install dependencies. Please help how to uninstall or repair installation. Thanks.

First thing I would try is changing directories into your MagicMirror folder. Open your terminal and enter the following:

cd MagicMirror

then

npm install

That may be all you need

@Mykle1 Thanks, but …npm command not found

[sdetweil]

Yes, npm isn’t in the base stretch install.

Run

sudo apt-get install npm

Then do the npm install from the mm folder

[Mykle1]

Ahh, I assumed that node and npm were already installed. My bad

npm is installed now , could you elaborate on “then do the npm install from the mm folder”

@fredo55

Open a terminal window.

Change directory by typing cd MagicMirror and enter.

Then type npm install and enter.

@Mykle1 - They were included in previous Raspbian distributions. Ever since about December or so, the installation script hasn’t been working.

mm is short for MagicMirror. Too long to type over and over!
