      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?

            I installed npm in Vendors. Now my error log is significantly less, but still dies.

                • /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)

                  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

                            I ran into some trouble myself after installing the MMM-PIR-Sensor (the whole MM is not starting :D )
                            Mental Note: Remember to BackUp stable builds!

                            I don’t see the need of using sudo for npm install.
                            I’ve tried to replicate your error(took a while to undo the fixes):

                            npm list
                            
                            npm ERR! extraneous: gulp-stylelint@3.9.0 /home/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules/gulp-stylelint
                            npm ERR! extraneous: stylelint@7.8.0 /home/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules/stylelint
                            
                            npm purge
                            
                            npm WARN grunt-stylelint@0.8.0 requires a peer of stylelint@^7.8.0 but none was installed.
                            npm WARN stylelint-config-standard@16.0.0 requires a peer of stylelint@^7.8.0 but none was installed.
                            
                            npm rebuild
                            got this: coffee-script@1.10.0 should be installed with -g // npm WARN prefer global jsonlint@1.6.2 should be installed with -g
                            
                            cd /MagicMirror/node_modules/
                            npm install  coffee-script@1.10.0 -g
                            npm install jsonlint@1.6.2 -g
                            npm install stylelint
                            npm install colorguard@1.2.0 -g
                            
                            npm list (again yes)
                            
                            

                            you will get an error: npm ERR! extraneous: stylelint@7.10.1 /home/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules/stylelint because we instaleld manually.

                            Give it a try and let us know.
