Failed at the magicmirror@2.2.2 start script 'sh-run-start.sh'

mafin

Thank you for your answers.

I am using stretch, see the cat /etc/os-release

PRETTY_NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux 9 (stretch)"
NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux"
VERSION_ID="9"
VERSION="9 (stretch)"
ID=raspbian
ID_LIKE=debian
HOME_URL="http://www.raspbian.org/"
SUPPORT_URL="http://www.raspbian.org/RaspbianForums"
BUG_REPORT_URL="http://www.raspbian.org/RaspbianBugs"

I followed the steps in this guide Complete Setup Tutorial

DISPLAY=:0 npm start can not solve the problem.

I will try to install MM with the Guide on GitHub you posted and I will see that comes out.
I will keep you updated.

EDIT: So I followed the guide on GitHub and it works perfectly.
Thank you very much for this suggestion.

Just tried again following this guide:
https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/wiki/Jessie-Lite-Installation-Guide
so:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install xinit xserver-xorg
sudo apt-get install lxde-core
sudo apt-get install lightdm
sudo apt-get install git
sudo apt-get install libxss1
sudo apt-get install libnss3
sudo apt-get install unclutter
then once it said to use the autoinstaller i went with manual installation.
After git clone i cd into MM and tried npm install… Ofc i didn’t work cause of missing npm so i tried with the simplest sudo apt-get install npm. After that i tried to verify node version with node -v but it did not gave any response. I tried anyway with sudo npm install into mm folder and it started… after a while it failed. This is the error i got, log attached.

@mafin could you give me the exact command lint you used? In that guide the only thing said about the installation is to use the automatic installer…
Using it i’m stuck here: (is it complete or stuck?)

cruunnerr

No you are stuck ^^
It is done. You can safely ignore warnings ;)
Just copy and rename the sample config.js and start the mirror in the MagicMirror folder with using „npm Start“
Or better use pm2
Take a look at the great tutorials in the Forum.

I won’t be so sure…

cruunnerr

didn’t expect that ^^

try going to your MagicMirror folder and type npm install electron@1.4.15
Maybe it will say, that this version is invalid.
Check the version here: /home/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules/electron/dist/version

or try it global sudo npm install -g electron@1.4.15

Question: Did u first install it manually and then with the automatic installer?
If so, did u delete your MagicMirror folder before using the automatic installer? If not, maybe this causes the error.
So try deleting the MagicMirror folder and then use the automatic installer again.
