I copy and pasted each line one by one as directed. When I got to the “npm run start” line, I am hit with these lines:

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ npm run start

magicmirror@2.14.0 start /home/pi/MagicMirror
DISPLAY=“${DISPLAY:=:0}” ./node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js

/home/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules/electron/index.js:14
throw new Error(‘Electron failed to install correctly, please delete node_modules/electron and try installing again’)
^

I am not sure where to go from here. Any guidance/help would be greatly appreciated. I am using a 2Gb raspberry Pi 4. I have a very limited background in coding, but I notice it is telling me to delete the node_modules/electron and try installing again, any guidance on how to go about doing that would be appreciated.

Thanks you guys
