      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?

              • /home/pi/MagicMirror/vendors npm install (This installed some missing stuff that seems to have not installed)
              • /home/pi/MagicMirror/ npm install (This failed, but showed that electron was missing. Only failed due to permission)
              • /home/pi/MagicMirror/ sudo npm install (This died with error ECONNRESET, so tried again)

                @Nomis said in Electron NPM Error:

                https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/2460/magicmirror-fails-to-install-during-electron-installation

                Those steps didn’t help.

                  Sorry to hear that.

                  For me it worked with those dependencies fixed.

                  pi@raspberrypi:~$ npm -v ; node -v
                  4.1.2
                  v7.7.1
                  pi@raspberrypi:~$ cd MagicMirror/
                  pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror$ cd node_modules/
                  pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror/node_modules$ npm install electron
                  
                  > electron@1.6.6 postinstall /home/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules/electron
                  > node install.js
                  
                  magicmirror@2.1.1 /home/pi/MagicMirror
                  └── electron@1.6.6
                  
                  pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror/node_modules$
                  

                  Here the thread I’ve been looking last night: https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/9324
                  User: johannesjo made a fork: https://github.com/johannesjo/electron-prebuilt

                  But what I did was to downgrade the extract-zip:

                  pi@raspberrypi:~$ cd MagicMirror/
                  pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror$ cd node_modules/
                  pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror/node_modules$ npm uninstall extract-zip
                  .
                  .
                  .
                  pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror/node_modules$ npm install extract-zip@1.6.0
                  .
                  .
                  .
                  pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror/node_modules$ npm install electron
                  

                  As a result of all this:

                  pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror$ npm install
                  
                  > magicmirror@2.1.1 install /home/pi/MagicMirror
                  > cd vendor && npm install
                  
                  magicmirror-vendors@ /home/pi/MagicMirror/vendor
                  ├── font-awesome@4.7.0
                  ├── moment@2.18.1
                  ├── moment-timezone@0.5.13
                  └── weathericons@2.1.0
                  
                  
                  > magicmirror@2.1.1 postinstall /home/pi/MagicMirror
                  > sh installers/postinstall/postinstall.sh
                  
                  MagicMirror installation successful!
                  pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror$
                  

                  Hope it helps
