      I am working with my friend on a project. When I downloaded what my friend had been working on with my raspberry pie and installed npm start, I got the error:
      0_1555310776532_d9fb8868-2613-4b33-a10d-a0d7000d7d14-image.png 0_15

      Friend’s environment is Mac, and I downloaded it to the raspberry pie.

      My freiend’s repository is https://github.com/ENTITYSmartMirror/BeautyMirrorTEST

      Friend installed and used python-shell module on April 15.

        I’m not really sure what your question is, or if you even have a question?
        I’m making the assumption that your question is: why do you get the errors? That is probably because mac and RPI have 2 totally diferrent operatings systems.
        The errors are a result of that, This bold part of the error is telling that the ellection.app is installed on MacOS: "Electron.app/Contents/MacOS/Electron: 1: " But you are running it on a RPI.

        To solve this you can do a clean install of MagicMirror on the RPI and install the modules as well. Then copy the changed config files, probably being config.js and custom.css

          @emrhssla ok, so you are installing a clone of MM… its ok, do that all the time.

          after the git clone, then u do npm install, right?

          he has copied the node_modules folder into his repo… u don’t want that…

          so, go to the folder

          /home/pi/Desktop/BeautyMirrorTEST
          

          and do

          rm -rf node_modules
          npm install
          

          then try the

          npm start dev &
          

          and have him remove the node_modules folder from his git repo
          and from all the modules which have a node_modules folder…
          and the vendor folder too

          the platforms are different, you cannot copy the binary runtimes

                  @emrhssla AND delete node_modules from all locations, right? vendor and all modules

                  from the MM folder do

                  WATCH OUT, THIS WILL ERASE ALL THE node_modules IN THE EMBEDED MagicMirror

                  find . | grep node_modules$ | xargs rm -rf 
                  

                  and

                  find . | grep package-lock.json | xargs rm 
                  

                  this erases all the mac based stuff that should not have been added to the repo
                  then

                  npm install

                      I think cleaning is the answer too…

                        MagicMirror will not quit, but it might be a good idea to check why this happened. Maybe no internet connection?
