        @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+

          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?

                    @postremalone said in NPM install is giving Error.:

                    NPM install is giving error.

                    alt text

                    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

                    npm ERR! path /usr/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/ansi-regex
                    npm ERR! code EACCES

                    npm ERR! syscall access

                    npm ERR!   stack: 'Error: EACCES: permission denied, access \'/usr/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/ansi-regex\'',
                    npm ERR!   errno: -13,
                    npm ERR!   code: 'EACCES',
                    npm ERR!   syscall: 'access',
                    npm ERR!   path: '/usr/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/ansi-regex' }
                    npm ERR!
                    npm ERR! Please try running this command again as root/Administrator.
                    
                    

                    and I run same command as root to solved this

                    sudo npm install -g npm@latest
                    

                    Here is version of nodejs install by MagicMirror script :

                    Installed Node version: v9.11.2

                        @nonamero I’ve brought this up on another thread, but I’ll mention here so that it is captured in context: for the last couple months Node.js and npm are currently BROKEN on RaspberryPi.

                        I just tried a test this morning using the started Electron app at https://electronjs.org/docs/tutorial/first-app

                        Running the automated install is a Red Herring. It is inappropriate to suggest it.

                        We have to figure out how to fix the bugs in the Node.js installation for Raspberry Pi before anything else. I’m wondering if installing an older version of Node.js is the solution. If so, then what version would we start with?
