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: 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. /home/pi/Desktop/BeautyMirrorTEST/node_modules/electron/dist/Electron.app/Contents/MacOS/Electron: 1: /home/pi/Desktop/BeautyMirrorTEST/node_modules/electron/dist/Electron.app/Contents/MacOS/Electron: �� 0: not found /home/pi/Desktop/BeautyMirrorTEST/node_modules/electron/dist/Electron.app/Contents/MacOS/Electron: 4: /home/pi/Desktop/BeautyMirrorTEST/node_modules/electron/dist/Electron.app/Contents/MacOS/Electron: Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting “)”) npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE npm ERR! errno 2 npm ERR! magicmirror@2.6.0 start: sh run-start.sh npm ERR!

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 yeh, my fault… i had u erase too much, there is a supplied node_helper module in the modules folder…

you can copy it from the /pi/MagicMirror installation
```
cp -r ~/MagicMirror/modules/node_modules/node_helper ~/newTest/modules/node_modules
```
