      I followed the manual install walk through.

      cd ~/MagicMirror
      npm install
      

      Now I’m getting an electron error. How do I troubleshoot this?

       electron@1.4.15 postinstall /home/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules/electron
       node install.js
      
      npm WARN This failure might be due to the use of legacy binary "node"

        @morozgrafix Thank you morozgrafix. I discovered that the node instructions i found were wayyy old.

        I’ve updated it but ran into new problems. ha! Thanks everyone!

          I would delete it and start over… something didn’t take… Are you installing it manually?

            Those look like very old versions of npm and node. Can you please run following commands in your terminal and post output?

            node --version
            

            and

            npm --version
            

            Thanks.

                  Honestly the problems may be all the mixing that has happened. I would just start over with the new instructions ;)
