Electron NPM Error
-
@DeanoAus try the manual install. It seems to run smoother.
-
I just tried
npm install npm@latest -g npm install -g grunt npm install -g electron
and when installing electron I get
pi@Pi:~ $ sudo npm install -g electron /usr/bin/electron -> /usr/lib/node_modules/electron/cli.js > electron@1.6.6 postinstall /usr/lib/node_modules/electron > node install.js /usr/lib/node_modules/electron/install.js:47 throw err ^ Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, lstat '/usr/lib/node_modules/electron/dist/resources' at Error (native) npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE npm ERR! errno 1 npm ERR! electron@1.6.6 postinstall: `node install.js` npm ERR!

Delete MM and re-download it.
Install manually.
Manual Installation
- Download and install the latest Node.js version.
- Clone the repository and check out the master branch:
git clone https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror
- Enter the repository:
cd ~/MagicMirror
- Install and run the app:
npm install && npm start
- Important: npm start does not work via SSH, use
DISPLAY=:0 nohup npm start &
instead. This starts the mirror on the remote display.
Note: if you want to debug on Raspberry Pi you can use
npm start dev
which will start the MagicMirror app with Dev Tools enabled. -

I am having the same problem. Wiped the pi and reflashed the image from scratch. Spent a few hours myself tonight trying various things to fix it without getting anywhere. Same exact errors as pasted above.
-
I’m getting the same problem. Started from scratch a few times but no luck. Finally managed to have it installed to the point where I could run using node serveronly then running on a browser. Also had to use ~/MagicMirror/vendor npm install as this seem to have been skipped in the auto installation when it hit the electron error.
-
Is there any way we can get a dev to look at this?
