      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”

                  Did u mean that instead of simply “npm install” ?

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

                      @InfiProj is there a command u could use to tell this is a zero, So I could update the installer?

                      Thanks

                        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.

                              Thanks for the PDF guide/instructions, after a week of tinkering and googling this was the only method I got to work with my Zero (Wish I started with this guide!)

                                @InfiProj thanks… I’ve updated my new test installer to use that info

                                https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/10171/anyone-want-to-try-updated-installer?page=1

                                my intent is to submit this new installer to replace the project version…

                                    @nigel-daniels i do not know… please use the scripted install from here

                                    https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts

                                    look at the instructions

                                    also, rename MagicMirror folder out of the way… or erase it… install thinks it is doing for the 1st time.

                                      @sdetweil hi, I have everything else set up and don’t really want to change thing, I had configured the PiZero some time ago. I was just reinstalling MM2. I decided I had left it so long since the last up date I just backed up my modules + config and have performed a reinstall. As far as I can tell the script is attempting a full config of the pi0?

                                          @sdetweil looks like the script gets to the same place :(

                                          Installing dependencies ...
                                          npm WARN optional SKIPPING OPTIONAL DEPENDENCY: electron@^6.1.7 (node_modules/electron):
                                          npm WARN optional SKIPPING OPTIONAL DEPENDENCY: Cannot read property 'resolve' of undefined
                                          
                                          npm ERR! Cannot read property 'resolve' of undefined
                                          
                                          npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:
                                          npm ERR!     /home/pi/.npm/_logs/2020-04-13T15_17_35_327Z-debug.log
                                          Unable to install dependencies! 
                                          

                                          The config.json only mentions electron in the optional dependancies so I don’t know where the resolve comes from. It looks to the the property of some var that is not being set.

                                            @nigel-daniels ok. We need to upgrade node or npm

                                            Try
                                            sudo npm I -g npm
                                            Then npm install --only=prod
                                            In the MagicMirror folder
