Manual Installation Trouble Error
-
@brendan_c23 use my install script
see https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts -
@brendan_c23 I am attempting to install the latest Node.js version using the code provided on the manual installation page of this website. 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 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
