        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

                    @bungee09 Did you get the npm install to work on the “MMM-PIR-Sensor” directory? Or did you just run the npm list to get the version of electron and then run npm rebuild --runtime=electron --target=1.3.4 --disturl=https://atom.io/download/atom-shell --abi=50 with the right version?

                    Which directory were you in when you ran the rebuild?

                    Sorry - i’m at work now, so dont have the Pi with me, but have been having issues with this for a week now, so i’m really hoping that this works for me :)

                      @Them-Russians - I feel your frustration! I spent a good few hours debugging this after installing and testing my PIR sensor. This is what eventually worked for me:

                      I ran all the commands in the MMM-PIR-Sensor Directory.

                       cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-PIR-Sensor
 npm list

                      I found the electron version number to be “1.4.3” so updated target to 1.4.3. Also, updated abi to 50 in the following command as this was the expected value from the error message in pm2 logs.

                       npm rebuild --runtime=electron --target=1.4.3 --disturl=https://atom.io/download/atom-shell --abi=50

                      As soon as the rebuild was complete…

                       cd
 pm2 restart mm

                      … to restart MagicMirror in pm2.

                      I also found this link which described the same fix.

                      Good luck!

                        @bungee09 Did your rebuild work successfuly? I got an error saying that i needed to have the latest versions of node.js and npm installed.

                        I believe I have node version 6.9.4. Is that what you were using?

                        After all this, i thought maybe i jacked up something, so i cleared out and reformatted the micro SD card. I reinstalled NOOBS and then got the Magic Mirror. Created the config.js file and ran the mirror without issue. Immediately after that, i cloned the PIR module and tried to run an “npm install” which failed, and so did the rebuild :(
