        Ok, I finally had time last night to run through a complete setup and install, from taking the rpi out of its box to having MM up and running. I did not have to manually install any of the aforementioned packages. Which makes me wonder, @EoF, 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.

        Anyway, I’ll have a step-by-step tutorial written up soon …hmm, let’s check calendar … oh yeah, some time in 2036.

        A Life? Cool! Where can I download one of those from?

          @KirAsh4 Hi! Glad you finally got around to testing this! I did in fact use the lite version of Jessie, so that would explain it then.

            Right, the lite version wouldn’t have any of those packages installed, nor would it have an X-server, so you would’ve had to do that yourself. :)

              I had the same erorr and I did use the full Jessie distribution. In my case “npm start” showed the same error but the problem was before at “npm install”.

              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.

              Perhaps somebody runs into the same error like me.
