        It’s really hard to say when there are so many different systems running MM these days. PC’s, Mac’s, Windows, uBuntu, Pi, Pi2 Pi3, etc…

        If you’re using a Pi3, did you use the automatic installer script? If not, did you do a manual installation? What OS are you using?

            Basically, the ELIFECYCLE error means that the install script unexpectedly stopped. This can have various reasons and it has nothing to do with anything that you did. The installation simply did not complete.

            You could try running npm install in the MagicMirror directory via your terminal but that may or may not correct things based on where the install script stopped. Make sure you only have ONE terminal open at this time. You can’t hurt anything.

            Personally, if this doesn’t correct the problem, I would start from scratch, following this tutorial EXCEPT for running the install script.
            https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/236/complete-setup-tutorial.

            In lieu of the install script I would do a manual installation from here.

            Scroll down till you see Manual Installation

            I hope this helps. Good luck and enjoy the process!

                You’re welcome. It’s good to know that you successfully installed MM. I’m an old “tinkerer” who likes doing things the old fashioned way. That is why I recommend the manual installation. At least you can check your steps if something goes awry. When the automatic installation fails, there’s nothing you can troubleshoot.

                Enjoy your mirror.
