@alessandroiacovella said in NPM install is giving Error.:

What command do you type to upgrade npm?

After I installed MM using this command:
git clone https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror

then I ran:
sudo apt-get install npm

afterwards:
cd MagicMirror

npm install

Then I tried

npm install -g npm@latest

but it didnt work also.
I am running latest updated Raspbian on RPi 3 b+

NoNameRo

@merceg100

please try the following

sudo apt-get remove nodejs nodejs-legacy nodered

after that

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_$NODE_STABLE_BRANCH | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
npm install -g npm@latest

after that enter in the repository with

cd MagicMirror

then install and run the app with

npm install && npm start

in case of errors please post here.

why do not you use the automatic installation for the RPi 3 b +

bash -c "$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/master/installers/raspberry.sh)"

Hi, Thank you for your help. I have been trying to install MM. At first, I had a trouble installing electron and node. Now I got dependencies error.

I’ve tried what you suggested and I got the following error.

During the installation of MM, I got Unable to install dependencies!.

Could you please help?

Help please.

I meet the same issue than you and I solved it by uninstalling nodejs

sudo apt-get remove nodejs

and reinstall nodejs by using the MagicMirror install script

bash -c "$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/master/installers/raspberry.sh)"

During the installation, npm install -g npm@latest give me this error
