Check your package.json file. Theres something wrong, probably at line 7.

npm ERR! node v6.11.0
npm ERR! npm v3.10.10

your node and npm are way down level

we are currently requiring node 14 and npm 6

if you use my MagicMirror upgrade script it will also upgrade node and npm

see
https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts

BUT the upgrade script only works if mm is installed in ~/MagicMirror

a quick workaround would be to create a linked folder

cd ~
ln -s realpath MagicMirror

where realpath for you is Documents/MagicMirrorJan2021

u can delete the linked folder after the update

note update is a 2 part process.
1st is a test run to see if there will be issues
2nd does the update,big u use the apply parm

but it will upgrade node/npm on the 1st pass

I have tried your suggestions but it seems I’m struggling to update npm and node js versions. I continue to obtain an error message related to electron-chromedriver @13.0.0 install script.

Does anyone have any suggestions, please ?

do this

sudo npm install n -g
n install 14

@sdetweil I managed to update it finally. Now I just have a black screen to fix to show my modules, so it feels close 😁

@richardh151 my update script fixes the black screen problems too
