          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.

                    In Linux we can ask OS about architecture. “arch” - this command returns CPU architecture. For rpi zero - armv6l, for rpi 3b - armv7l. Maybe that helps you.

                        “uname -m” - does the same as “arch”,
                        “uname -p” and “uname -i” says unknown.
