    When running the curl, first errors are:

    Then I ran npm start to see what would happen:

    pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ npm start

> magicmirror@2.1.0 start /home/pi/MagicMirror
> electron js/electron.js

/home/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules/electron/index.js:9
  throw new Error('Electron failed to install correctly, please delete node_modules/' + path.basename(__dirname) + ' and try installing again')
