@Mykle1 I have electron version 1.6.10, can you please tell me how to make it 1.4.15?
From the provided link I get to know that MMM-2.1.0 and Electron 1.4. 15 is the best combination.
I’m sorry if my question appears to be very basic, also I cannot do a fresh clean new installation because my Raspberry pi has some of my other projects going on.
Thank you …

can you please tell me how to make it 1.4.15?

npm install electron@1.4.15

I don’t know if installing electron 1.4.15 without MM 2.1.0 will help but I hope so. Please let me know what your results are and good luck.

@Mykle1 I already have MM-2.1.0 installed. I just have the electron 1.6.1 So I believe downgrading electron will show some result.

If I’m not wrong then, the conclusion from the link you posted, was MM-2.1.0 with electron 1.4.5??

Also if i use npm install @1.4.5,. What will happen with the already installed electron 1.6.1, won’t it clash ???

@yours.mukul

You are correct. The determination was that MM v2.1.0 and electron v1.4.15 combination gave the best performance.

npm install electron@1.4.15 should overwrite the existing electron. If not, you can manually uninstall it before installing 1.4.15

@Mykle1 should I use this command in ‘MagicMirror/node_modules/’ directory or somewhere else.
Also how to uninstall electron manually?
I’m sorry if my question is too basic.
