      I have stretch full (mm owner said lite not supported in a comment in this forum)
      I tried both automatic and manual installation, i tried with both node js 9.3.0 and the automatic node update from MM.
      How you installed It? What node version? Did u use -g after npm install?
      Btw i work only from SSH, to make It start i used pm2 before this new clean install

      I think my installer can’t install electron from what i read at installation fail

        i did it exactly as wrote in this tutorial:

        https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/wiki/Jessie-Lite-Installation-Guide

        only difference:
        i used Raspbian stretch lite and to disable the screensaver i used xscreensaver

        does need a little bit longer because u need to install the dependancies first, but it runs from the beginning without issues.

        but to be on the safety side, you can use raspbian jesse full as many users wrote about problems with stretch

          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?)

                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.

                    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.

                              I have restored an old backup with which it ran with version 2.13 since 01:18 I have no chance to get it to work.
                              I have a rp3 with stretch on the run where synonymous fhem over it runs. if any one idea would be great

                                  Ok i checked your earlier posts again.
                                  U did execute the whole stuff as root user. Thats not necessary and even not good!
                                  I don’t know what else u did as root, but maybe first try to delete the whole MagicMirror Folder and run the command without sudo.
                                  bash -c "$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/master/installers/raspberry.sh)"

                                  Or try a new installation of the raspbian and begin with this (for a full raspbian) or this (for a lite raspbian) tutorial. Do it exactly as its wrote down!

                                    @cruunnerr From when sudo is a bad thing? I’ll try now

                                      @cruunnerr after an auto install without sudo, made it work starting the installation of electron for the 2nd time in it’s folder. Now everything runs smooth if i give him commands but 1:
                                      -server only does not work, i can’t access it remotely
                                      -pm2 start does not work, the display goes all black but no module is loaded, it stays black. I tried with both my old config and the example config
                                      -maybe local launch does not work too? i have no idea since it’s really hard to connect a mouse and keyboard. If i use a VNC can i start it with npm start only?
                                      any idea?

                                        @L_i_v_e said in Failed at the magicmirror@2.2.2 start script ‘sh-run-start.sh’:

                                        If i use a VNC can i start it with npm start only?

                                        Yes.

                                        Since i started my project a few weeks/month ago i have had some trouble, too. But it was all about my inexperience. So at this point im out at all, sorry.
                                        Hope someone can help you.
                                        But if i said before: Reading the many tutorials and do it like it’s written there brought me to the goal.
                                        Only difference to you was, that i was using the early magic mirror versions.
                                        Maybe u should give it a last try with Version 2.1.3 and updating later or hoping that there are other guys who can help you. :(

                                          I too have the same problems. In another thread started a few days ago because I have the same issues.
                                          Started with Stretch, then went back to an old Jessie Lite version.
                                          I have done the automatic install, the manual install, as root and not as root.
                                          All fail at the same place. I currently have 5 MM running on PI3, then the update came and tried on one device when it crashed. I will not touch the others until this is resolved.
                                          If someone fixes this can they post the steps they used and a link to the image that they used as well.
                                          This is getting very frustrating. All my mirrors went together in a matter of an hour or so with no problems. Setting the modules and css is another thing though.
                                          Any help is very much appreciated.
