In my case “npm start” showed  the same error but the problem was before at “npm install”.</p>
<p dir="auto">I never really took the time to watch the entire npm install routine, because it took a while. I had my rasbperry connected via usb on my tv. And while running npm install it rebooted! So in my case it was caused by an inadequate power supply. Switched to a plug and everything worked fine.</p>
<p dir="auto">Perhaps somebody runs into the same error like me.</p>

I did <strong>not</strong> have to manually install any of the aforementioned packages. Which makes me wonder, <a class="plugin-mentions-user plugin-mentions-a" href="/user/eof" aria-label="Profile: EoF">@<bdi>EoF</bdi></a>, were you running the full Jessie distribution, or Jessie-Lite? If it’s Jessie-Lite, you would’ve had to install a lot more than just those few pieces as it does not come with an X-server.</p>
<p dir="auto">Anyway, I’ll have a step-by-step tutorial written up soon …hmm, let’s check calendar … oh yeah, some time in 2036. <em></em></p>

However, we could adjust the installer to pause and ask the user if they have performed an update/upgrade on their base rpi before continuing on with the MM install. This gives the user an opportunity to exit the installer and do the requires prerequisites before returning to the installer (at which point they can then say ‘yes’ to the question.)</p>

<code>language: 'en',</code> -&gt; <strong><code>language: 'de',</code></strong></p>
<p dir="auto">As for the rest of your modules, I recommend adding them one by one to your <code>config.js</code> file to make sure they work.  If you get that electron.js error, it was on the module you just added.</p>
