Installing on Ubuntu 18.04

Complete novice here who thought it would be fun to run on his home computer. Downloaded and unzipped. Ran:
./run-start.shAnd was told electron: command not found.
Where do I go from here please?
Thanks

No I just ran the sh script. Just ran the npm command and found I needed to install. I am now running the npm install command. I’ll let you know.
Thanks for the help.

I have it installed now. Do you mind me asking some silly questions please?
- How do I now make it run?
- Does it take over the computer? Can I still use it with magic mirror in the background?
I am testing it to see what it is like, hopefully with a view to running it on a computer all the time.
Thanks

I tried to run as suggested and came up with this problem:
WARNING! Could not find config file. Please create one. Starting with default configuration.
What is the default configuration please? Is there a dummy one that I could copy or should I create a config.txt file and let MagicMirror write to it please?

@gwyls in the magic mirror folder you have a folder config, check there and you find a file named config.js.sample just rename that one to config.js and should be work.

@gwyls I think you need to read Manual.
