Issues running MM on Debian 11 on Mac mini

Redicaljk

I recently installed Debian 11 on an older Mac mini without any issues. However, I am unable to run Magic Mirror.

This is the error that occurs when I type in “npm run start”:

raspi@raspberry:~/MagicMirror $ npm run start

magicmirror@2.22.0 start
DISPLAY=“${DISPLAY:=:0}” ./node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js

sh: 1: ./node_modules/.bin/electron: not found
npm ERR! code 127
npm ERR! path /home/raspi/MagicMirror
npm ERR! command failed
npm ERR! command sh -c DISPLAY=“${DISPLAY:=:0}” ./node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js

npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:
npm ERR! /home/raspi/.npm/_logs/2023-01-07T11_43_55_951Z-debug.log
raspi@raspberry:~/MagicMirror $

This is the npm and node versions:
raspi@raspberry:~/MagicMirror $ npm --version
7.5.2

raspi@raspberry:~/MagicMirror $ node --version
v12.22.12

Any help would be most appreciated!!

@Redicaljk u are on node 12. need to be 16 at least.

if u had used my script it would have upgraded node as part of the install

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

you can try the upgrade script w force. it will upgrade node too

@sdetweil thank you!

I attempted to load the script but had this issue:
