<![CDATA[MagicMirror wont start after failed update]]>Hi,
I have not worked with the MagicMirror for too long.
I did an updaet a few days ago and had a power outage at that very moment :umbrella_with_rain_drops: . Although there are backup but unfortunately these are already a few months old :confounded_face: .
Since the power failure Magicmirror does not start anymore. I have again executed the command git pull && npm install without success.

Here’s the npm log:

I hope someone can help me.

yes, they added checking for hacker vulnerabilities…
one cannot fix them all… so, run audir fix once, and ignore the rest… they are just warnings

Thank you for your help

Unfortunately, I still get this message when I run npm install. Can you ignore the warnings? The instruction npm audit fix could not solve the problem either

do

cd ~/MagicMirror
rm -rf node_modules
npm install

that should get you back to working
