        @Jakllo
        I initially had that problem too - you need to be logged in as PI - not root.
        I’d suggest starting all over: it really wont take that long. Follow the
        tutorial @strawberry-3-141 mentioned (https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/236/complete-setup-tutorial) to the letter. It was written by @KirAsh4 & made all of my problem go away. I have now done it 4 times, getting it done in less than an hour from unpacking to having it all run!

        My raspberry all of a sudden even connected via WiFi, and I am expecting my hair to grow back any day now.

        I’m telling you - pure magic, these guys.

        All the best

            @cowboysdude I tried again following the steps… but then in the end it again showed me errors regarding installing dependencies…

            I believe two in particular…

            npm WARN prefer global coffee-script@1.10.0 should be installed with -g
            npm WARN prefer global jsonlite@1.6.2 should be installed with -g
            > electron-chromedriver@1.7.1 install/jome/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules/electron-chromedriver
            > node ./download-chromedriver.js

                    Perhaps you’ll post how you solved the issue so others might benefit if they have the same issue. :-)
