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

Thank you very much, it works now!
Before I used Putty after SSH got enabled, logged in with pi/raspberry login.

I did follow that guide at first, same error. After some google someone said to install that specific version, still same error. Now I don’t know how to update it :)

@cowboysdude said in Failed at the magicmirror@2.0.0 start script 'electron js/electron.js'.:

“npm install electron” from a terminal window without quotes…

Still same error.
