Node Install Issues

[Natacha]

I was able to get MM setup but then when I upgraded Node I’m now receiving the following error when doing

sudo npm start

Here is the error that is returned after I run this via Remote Desktop terminal

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ cd MagicMirror
pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ sudo npm start

magicmirror@2.7.1 start /home/pi/MagicMirror
sh run-start.sh

Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

@Natacha now that u upgraded node, you have to go back and redo

npm install

in the MM folder and all module folders if they have a package.json file

@Natacha said in Node Install Issues:

sudo npm start

You should not be using sudo npm start

Simply, npm start in your MagicMirror directory. :-)

Follow @sdetweil instructions first.
