Failed at the electron
@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 Thanks a lot! I’ll try that and let you know about how it turns about!
-
@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…

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