Unable to install dependencies, NPM install not working
-
@KirAsh4 Can we find out, which version is compatible, and set that? I am experiencing a similar error after chaging to the development branch, but maybe it is unrelated to this specific problem. But I do not know which version of electron I had previously.

Look in your
~pi/.electronfolder. There should be old(er) versions downloaded there. Mine lists two:pi@magicmirror:~/.electron $ ls -al total 67944 drwxr-xr-x 2 pi pi 4096 May 24 23:54 ./ drwxr-xr-x 24 pi pi 4096 Oct 10 02:09 ../ -rw-r--r-- 1 pi pi 34490964 May 2 20:52 electron-v0.37.8-linux-arm.zip -rw-r--r-- 1 pi pi 35072121 May 24 23:54 electron-v1.1.2-linux-arm.zipAs of right now, my mirror is running v1.1.2 - I haven’t updated in about a week. How you go about (re)installing that one however … I’ll leave that as an exercise for the user. :) Mainly because right now I don’t have the time to figure it out. One possible place to start is also looking in the
.npmfolder for the older stuff:pi@magicmirror:~ $ ls -l .npm/electron-prebuilt .npm/electron-prebuilt: total 32 drwxr-xr-x 4 pi pi 4096 May 24 23:50 ./ drwxr-xr-x 509 pi pi 20480 Jul 1 02:40 ../ drwxr-xr-x 3 pi pi 4096 May 2 20:50 0.37.8/ drwxr-xr-x 3 pi pi 4096 May 24 23:50 1.1.2/ -
After I get back from my 5 day vacation :)

@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.

I re-installed magic mirror and got this above the unable to install dependencies error

Could that be related to the npm install issue?

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

@FlorianRD, did you run
npm installfrom within the MagicMirror folder? -
@MichMich I seem to be having the same problem as folks above. Whenever I try
npm installfrom inside the MM folder, the electron installation either stalls or fails. -
@MichMich, yes i did run npm install. I’ve just finished a new installation of this project.
Step by step by the tutorial. And, same problem.electron-v1.3.8-linux-arm.zip is in /.electron folder
-
Did the
npm installfinish without issues? -
Sounds strange but did set a system time?
Sometimes it’s messing around without. -
I have the same error with a newly installed system
-
same, i thought its because the electron doesn’t work look http://www.bilder-upload.eu/show.php?file=967e7b-1477258720.png
why it’s red?
and i haven’t in the folder electron any data … maybe by you too ?

Hello guys, I have the same problem.
Here is the code:
Cloning MagigMirror Done!
Installing dependencies …
bash: line 109: nom: command not found
Unable to install dependencies!Do you an idea on how to solve this Problem?
Thanks a lot and many greetings from Germany :)

Hello guys,
I tried to overwrite everything. Well, I installed NPM with:
sudo apt-get install nodejs npm node-semver
After that, I renamed the initial Magic Mirror folder. Then I tried to installed the MM2 again.
Conlusion:
I have the same problem as @joey12725 .
Any suggestions?
