      Hi I am having this same issue. Did you ever get it working?

        Maybe I’m missing something here, but it seems you try to run npm start from a remote shell. That does not work since it doesn’t know on which screen to start. Try: DISPLAY=:0 npm start

          @MichMich Hi! I am running npm start directly on the pi, and I get the same exact error.

            As an update to my situation, I was able to get mine working by installing electron dependencies.

            sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-0 libnotify4 libgconf2-4 libnss3

            I am running a pi 3 with Jessie by the way.

            FYI @MichMich @paviro

              Interesting as I didn’t have to do that as a separate step. However, as I posted in a different thread yesterday, keeping the base software on your Raspberry Pi is important.

                Mhh maybe we should add those dependencies and/or apt-get upgrade to the installer script?

                We're all stories in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?

                  I vote no because that’s outside the scope of MM. 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.)

                    @KirAsh4 I did the manual install for mine anyways, but I could have sworn I did an update / upgrade but I may be wrong.

                    Maybe it’s something that can just be added to the install instructions as a small note.

                      You know, I have a spare rpi-3 sitting at home. I’ll wipe it clean and start fresh when I get home later and see if I run into issues. All in the name of science!
