Install MagicMirror on Orange Pi Lite (Armbian)

Hello,

I installed MagicMirror on Orange Pi Lite. Got error in this

npm ERR! Linux 3.4.113-sun8i
npm ERR! argv "/usr/bin/nodejs" "/usr/bin/npm" "install"

is that the node version and npm version is wrong? Which version I should install?

Sorry - have no help for you, but I’m really interested to see if you can get this to work on a $15 board.
Thanks for giving it a shot.

Hi friends

I had the same problem using the NPM 3.2 and NODE 6.10 versions with an OPI Lite.
For fix I downgrade the versions to NODE 5.10 and NPM 2.4, run the installation again and everything works fine.

Changing node version

sudo npm cache clean -f
sudo npm install -g n
sudo n 5.1.0

Changing npm version

npm install -g npm@2.4.0
