      @cowboysdude, I don’t know who gave you permission to take a vacation, but they need to be fired. First thing you will need to do when you return.

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

          Could that be related to the npm install issue?

                Yesterday i perform a install for MM². I get step by step from a user who made an InstallGuide.
                And finaly the same error as shown below. I’ve buy the complete Hardware for the Mirror. The frame are handmade an looks fine. But the Software goes wrong. There should be a project for the incomming autumn here in Germany. I hope that any can fix this problem and tell us.

                I used a RaspberryPi 3 with Jessie

                Greetings from North of Germany

                      @FlorianRD, did you run npm install from within the MagicMirror folder?

                        @MichMich I seem to be having the same problem as folks above. Whenever I try npm install from inside the MM folder, the electron installation either stalls or fails.
