        also forgot to mention i am using a RPi 3

        Alternatively I thought trying a manual installation would have a different outcome and have come across the following issue:

          @azmuth94 did you try to update node? you’re running 4.2, I’m using 6.5

          Please create a github issue if you need help, so I can keep track

              Try:

              sudo npm install -g electron
              

              If you get any errors with that command then something needs fixing outside of the MagicMirror package and installation.
