      First things that come to my mind:

      • maybe a “sudo” is missing? Like sudo npm install --unsafe-perm?
      • are you executing this from the MMM-PIR-Sensor directory ?

        Hi @Medo, Thanks for the reply.
        1.) I tried this method and it gives an output of the following error.

        pi@raspi:~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-PIR-Sensor $ sudo npm install --unsafe-perm

        1. Yea it’s in the file directory ( MagicMirror/modules/MMM-PIR_Sensor )

          What i also did, was a complete reinstall of the PIR-Sensor

          I followed the steps, “Banglee” described some lines above:

          ok so lets go step by step:
          cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/

          now we will remove the PIR folder:
          rm -rf MMM-PIR-Sensor

          and from here, we’re going to reinstall the MMM-PIR-Sensor modul:

          git clone https://github.com/paviro/MMM-PIR-Sensor.git
cd MMM-PIR-Sensor

          run the following cmd here:
          npm install and wait, this can take a few minutes.

          Now you’ll have to add pi to gpio
          sudo useradd -g pi gpio

          and reboot your Raspi:
          sudo reboot

          Sorry, no further ideas so far (maybe you can open a PIR-Sensor troubleshooting thread)?

              I’m having nothing but trouble with this. I’ve tried all the tips on here but still get a white screen.

              @zichao92 What was the ugly way and how did you manage to get it working please?

              This is the error I get:

MagicMirror will not quit, but it might be a good idea to check why this happened. Maybe no internet connection?

                Hi @jwhittaker ,
                Previously i had a working node_modules that Ive installed through npm install ( Cant rmb how i got it but i managed to create a back up copy of it). Subsequently when I tried to use npm install on a new raspberry pi, it didnt work as intended.

                What i did was instead of using npm install, I bypassed it by inserting the node_module that i previously salvaged and it worked for some reasons.

                  Random question for you:

                  when i try to do an “npm install” in the “MMM-PIR-Sensor” folder, i get the following error:

                  Any idea what could cause this? I suspect my white screen is because the install failed.

                  I have tried removing the “MMM-PIR-Folder” from my directory and running the clone command from github again to start fresh, but still face this issue.

                    Similar problem to @Them-Russians when running npm install. Then after starting MM using pm2 I get a white screen. Checking the pm2 error logs I see the following error with a module version mismatch: “Expected 50, got 49”.

                    Tried @James solution using npm rebuild but changed the version parameter to 50. Still no luck.

                      npm rebuild --runtime=electron --target=1.3.4 --disturl=https://atom.io/download/atom-shell --abi=50

                    Any help would be much appreciated before I reformat my sd card and start from scratch.

                      npm list and look for electron to find the right version. Then rerun the rebuild command with replaced version number
