      @liamangelus git clone the mm repo from GitHub.
      Then edit the package.json file and change the number behind electron to the string mentioned above “^2.0.0”

      Then follow the manual install steps from the readme

        After editing the electron version in the package.json as ^ 2.0.0, I will apply the other steps in the same way. If I encounter a problem I would like to help you again. Thanx a lot.

                looks like changing the electron version to “^2.0.0” isn;t working anymore as it tries to intsall 1.8.0 and it gets the following error. Any idea why it isn’t looking for the version in the package.json file? thanks!

                “Error: Failed to find Electron v1.8.0 for linux-armv6l at https://github.com/electron/electron/releases/download/v1.8.0/chromedriver-v1.8.0-linux-armv6l.zip”

                  Solve it like this: “npm install --arch=armv7l”

                      Yes, I just update installation command by --arch argument, and MM installs w/o errors.
