      Hi, I am running Ubuntu Touch on a Nexus 7 (2013) I am stuck here and have tried everything and I have no idea what the problem is?

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

      npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE
      npm ERR! errno 1
      npm ERR! magicmirror@2.7.1 start: ‘sh run-start.sh’
      npm ERR! Exit status 1
      npm ERR!
      npm ERR! Failed at the magicmirror@2.7.1 start script.
      npm ERR! This is probably not a problem with npm. There is likely additional logging output above.

      npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:

          Can u tell us the versions of node and npm?

          node -v
          npm -v

          You did an npm install after the git clone or file unzip, right?

                            sh is a command which is runing on unix systems (such as macos, linux) do you try that on a windows machine?
