    @sdetweil And just to be thorough, here is my install.log. I don’t know what’s going on with those weird unicode characters in the log. And there are lots of “memory leak detected” that I don’t recall seeing back in May.

      @sdetweil I scoured the forums and found someone else complaining about electron being missing.

      I ran this sudo npm i -g npm@6 and now it seems to be working fine.

        @davidgagne that makes no sense… the latest version of npm is 10.x
        and you just installed v6… (maybe)

        do

        npm -v

          that is an npm bug… nothing we can do anything about. no impact on install

            @sdetweil npm -v returns 6.14.18 (and it takes a solid 45 seconds to do that, which seems like a very long time for such a simple command, even on a Zero).

                @sdetweil I was wrong. It’s not working fine.

                It was working fine. Then I rebooted to make sure everything was fine. Comes back up with no problem.

                Then I ssh-ed to it, installed a module, ran npm install inside the new module’s directory, execute pm2 start MagicMirror, and now MM crashes again looking for electron.

                So frustrating.

                  @sdetweil Can I run sudo npm i -g npm@10 to upgrade to v10?

                  Also: Can you help with getting my forum account upgraded so I don’t have all my posts queued for approval?
