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

@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.

FlorianRD

@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

MichMich

Did the npm install finish without issues?

Patrick

Sounds strange but did set a system time?
Sometimes it’s messing around without.
