      I’ve tried following the instruction above of removing and reinstalling but I keep getting the below errors. I’m not even sure what they are unfortunately, wondering if anyone is able to help.

      edit: I have tried modifying the package.json file in the FAQ but the install exits within a minute, vs a really long time leaving the original. Seems like it gets farther through the install the first time. Though I’ve noticed i do have the electron folder and not an electron-prebuilt. The following is the error I get when i remove the -prebuilt.

        This is an old node version. Please update your node and npm. (If you need help check the answers to this SO question.)

            @Jopyth Hi, thanks for taking the time to respond to this. Sorry I was away for work and didnt have too much time to test this out.

            So i managed to, using your link, to update node. But there was issues even getting there, I had to use an older version of node to update npm…but anyways here is the output showing I’ve updated to the latest version.

            pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-PIR-Sensor $ npm -v
4.0.5
pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-PIR-Sensor $ node -v
v7.4.0

            But now I’m getting this issue. Again thanks @Jopyth for responding so quickly last time.

              @Mar Please change your package.json file as displayed here and execute npm install again. @paviro has not yet responded to my PR, but hopefully this will get merged in sooner or later.

                @Jopyth It finally worked!!! :lifter_tone2: thanks so much. Ive spent days on this :(

                Tried this last link you provided previously before posting but nothing was working, your support around getting node updated (and npm) was all that needed to happen first.

                Thanks again!

                  @Jopyth Though looks like its failing on the config file now, Do you see any issues with the following?

                                 {
                        module: 'MMM-PIR-Sensor',
                        config: {
                                sensorPin: 17,
                        }
                },

                  i seem to get an error and MM doesnt load when this is in the config file. I can even have disabled:true and it loads, otherwise I’ll get a blank webpage.

                        Hey, thanks for advising us how to install the modules, but I´m still struggling to find a solution for me even after updating nodejs and npm to the latest builts…
                        Similar error with corrected package.json.

                        Unable to find electron-prebuilt's version number, either install it or specify an explicit version

                        I even tried the npm rebuild @Mar suggested. My last attempt to get this working was updating electron to its newest version but this didn´t help either.
                        Is there anything I could further try to install this module correctly?
