          @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’)
          ^

          Error: Electron failed to install correctly, please delete node_modules/electron and try installing again

          npm ERR! This is probably not a problem with npm. There is likely additional logging output above.

          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

              @sdetweil Do I need to clear all of the previous downloads/code or am I good to just copy + paste that line below everything?
