MM Installed, npm run start error

[eitan]

Hi All,
I am running on Pi 3,
installed the PI OS lite (2023-12-05-raspios-bullseye-arm64-lite.img) and fully updated.
after installing the Node.js as instructed in Manual installation, the command git clone… did not work, got the error: “git: command not found”, installed git using the command sudo apt install git, after that the command “git clone https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror” worked and all other commands until “npm run start”, where I get the error:

pi@xxx/etc/apt/keyrings/MagicMirror $ npm run start

> magicmirror@2.25.0 start
> DISPLAY="${DISPLAY:=:0}" ./node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js

sh: 1: ./node_modules/.bin/electron: not found

Can anybody help on this?

@eitan mm needs full, not lite. must have graphics desktop
once you have the right os
you can do

cd ~/MagicMirror
npm install electron@26.2.4

Thanks,
I thought MM could run on a small system, save some disk space,
Will update the OS.
