      Hi there and thank you for spending time reading this message.
      I got excited very much by this project, and i decided to make a MagicMirror on my own.

      I have followed up the whole tutorial
      bash -c "$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/master/installers/raspberry.sh)

      I ended up getting an error saying Electron did not install properly.
      I did RM RF node_modules and npm install from beginning

      Still in the end it is the same error that comes up

      /home/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules/electron/index.js:9
      throw new Error - Electron failed to install correctly, please delete node_modules/electro and try installing again.
      [0_1506123706492_npm-debug.log](Uploading 100%)

      Below here i am pasting the npm-debug.log
      Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

        Just a small update.
        I have followed the suggestions made from Mykle1 on some posts below, but i did not get any good results of this.
        I did manual installation and i still get exactly the same error.

          @nepsilonn said in Npm start throwing error:

          throw new Error - Electron failed to install correctly, please delete node_modules/electro and try installing again.

          This is telling you to delete the Electron folder

          I did RM RF node_modules and npm install from beginning

          NOT the node_modules folder, which you deleted.

          I don’t know where you think you read that I suggested that. Certainly not in this topic.

          So, what you should have done is delete JUST the Electron folder and run npm install in the MagicMirror directory

            https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/4879/npm-start/7 I read your suggestion from here.

            Not the rm rf as a suggestion from you, but rather manual installation.
            Now it works, thank you for this.
