      @Mr.Meeseeks said in Complete Setup tutorial: npm command not found / unable to install dependencies:

      Oh I know, check that your system date and time is correct.

      If there is internet connection available follow the steps to set the date:

      1. sudo raspi-config
      2. Internationalization options
      3. Change Time Zone
      4. Select geographical area
      5. Select city or region.
      6. Reboot your pi.

      Maybe:
      sudo date -s “19 SEP 2016 20:37:00”

      Excellent! For some reason I wasn´t able to set the correct time and date via raspi-config. Using sudo date -s “19 SEP 2016 20:37:00” solved the problem. After that I was able to run curl -L https://npmjs.org/install.sh | sudo sh. The install script curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/master/installers/raspberry.sh | bash went through just like a charm!
      Although I still do not understand the connection between the wrong set time and date and the installation I´m very happy to run MM now. Now I have to configure the modules.
      –> A WORLD OF THANKS TO YOU!!

        Wicked!
        Ya the date time solved the https certificate issue. I also don’t know why we had to install npm manually and no one else did. Oh well, I’m sure this thread will help others👍

        CAAAAN DOO!👍

          Honestly what I would do is format the SD card put the rasp img on the SD card then open a terminal window and do the

          sudo apt-get update
          sudo apt-get upgrade

          then go to installing the mirror via the install script.

            I tried that several times and it didn´t work! My Raspberry is probably some sort of unique…

              That’s interesting to say the least… did you try the manual install?

                Of course I did. I tried the automatic and manual install with a formated SD card several times.
                That´s the setup I´m using:
                Raspberry Pi: https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B01CEFWQFA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

                SD- Card: https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B013UDL5V6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=

                Right now MM runs fine with the above mentioned commands. The only problem that remains is that the system clock of the Raspberry still doesn´t synchronize with the Internet. After using “sudo date -s “20 SEP 2016 20:37:00”” the system clock remains on the 20th of September, 22:26h. Hope I can fix that this weekend. Any suggestions are highly appreciated. Thanks.

                  Is ntp running? Is your firewall blocking it?

                  A Life? Cool! Where can I download one of those from?

                    I finally got it running. It turned out that the sync.- problem is well known since May 2016.

                    –> https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=149221

                    1. stopped the ntpd with :

                    sudo systemctl stop ntp

                    1. rather than running ntpdate, ran ntpdate-debian:

                    sudo ntpdate-debian

                    1. started ntpd

                    sudo systemctl start ntp

                    1. check

                    sudo ntpq -p

                    Now I´m happy!!
