        @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

                    @FlorianRD did you use this tutorial? https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/236/complete-setup-tutorial

                    you forgot to append your errors

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

                        @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.

                            @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 install finish without issues?

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

                                    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?

                                          Yep, same issues as everyone else.

                                          @MichMich : Need any specific output or logs, etc. to help? I’m desperate to get my mirror up and running again and happy to help.

                                          Interesting to note though, is since formatting my Pi to do a fresh install and it failing, I’ve really missed my Magic Mirror. I hadn’t realised how much a part of my daily routine it had become, using it!

                                            @jamlid My wife and I noticed the same when our Mirror was off a few weeks ago. Can’t live without it. ;)

                                            About solving the issue:

                                            • What steps did you try to install it?
                                            • And what did you try to fix it?
                                            • How do you try start your mirror?
                                            • Does this repository work on your pi? https://github.com/electron/electron-quick-start

                                            If the last repository doesn’t work for you, please open an issue in that repo, since it is a issue with electron.
