      if (typeof module !== “undefined”) {module.exports = config;}

      Stupid question here but did you do this---->

      in terminal window in the
      ~MagicMirror/config

      cp config.js.sample config.js

        npm WARN engine deep-extend@0.4.2: wanted: {“node”:“>=0.12.0”,“iojs”:“>=1.0.0”} (current: {“node”:“0.10.29”,“npm”:“1.4.21”})

        You’ll certainly have to update node and npm. I had similar problems when I did a manual install on a laptop and updating those cleared things up for me.

        Mine:

        `Mykle@Mykle-Desktop MINGW32 ~/MagicMirror
        $ node --version
        v6.10.2

        Mykle@Mykle-Desktop MINGW32 ~/MagicMirror
        $ npm --version
        3.10.10
        `

            @Mykle1 Ok after that, I went to update node which updated npm.
            Using this script for raspberry pi:

            curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_7.x | sudo -E bash -

            I then deleted the magicmirror home directory, downloaded the installer script from the GIT repo, checked it again for versions and installs.

            1. I ran the script as a normal user. It completed successfully.
            2. Then ran the npm start command.
            3. Now magic Mirror is working.

            Thanks!
