    It looks as though you’re running npm start in the wrong directory. Please try cd MagicMirror and then npm start in pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $

    I went into the directory you gave me and this is what it gave me back;
    pi@raspberrypi:~ $ cd MagicMirror
    pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ npm start

    magicmirror@2.2.2 start /home/pi/MagicMirror
    sh run-start.sh

    /home/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules/electron/index.js:9
    throw new Error(‘Electron failed to install correctly, please delete node_modules/’ + path.basename(__dirname) + ’ and try installing again’)
    ^

    To be honest I have no idea how I messed this up. I simply pasted the bash code on the website and hit enter. then tried npm start.

    you have to install first and then start with npm install && npm start

    I just got my R Pi 3, installed Raspbian Stretch with Desktop, and tried to install Magic Mirror.

    I was getting “hash sum mismatch” on package updates until I plugged in a network cable (instead of using WiFi). The packages updated properly, and Magic Mirror installed and ran fine showing the default modules!
