      Hello I have an issue while installing MM. I use the manual install method, but upon running npm start i get

      ~/MagicMirror$ npm start
      
      > magicmirror@2.29.0 start
      > DISPLAY="${DISPLAY:=:0}" ./node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js
      
      node:events:496
            throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
            ^
      
      Error: spawn /home/ysh/MagicMirror/node_modules/electron/dist/electron ENOENT
          at ChildProcess._handle.onexit (node:internal/child_process:285:19)
          at onErrorNT (node:internal/child_process:483:16)
          at process.processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:90:21)
      Emitted 'error' event on ChildProcess instance at:

          at process.processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:90:21) {
        errno: -2,
        code: 'ENOENT',
        syscall: 'spawn /home/ysh/MagicMirror/node_modules/electron/dist/electron',
        path: '/home/ysh/MagicMirror/node_modules/electron/dist/electron',
        spawnargs: [ 'js/electron.js' ]
      }
      

      I use XFCE4 but this error shows both on SSH and on XFCE4-Terminal. Is my DE the issue? I wish to use OpenBox alone though but this is just for testing purposes.
      Thank you!

          @sdetweil I use PostMarketOS (Alpine), i am not planning to use MM as an actual mirror. By DE I mean Desktop Enviroment which in my case is XFCE4.

            @ysh I don’t use mirror either … just info panel…

            I have not tried alpine in a while now…

            this sounds like an electron problem

            if you start in server mode

            npm run server
            can you access with browser
            http://localhost:8080
            (with default settings)
