      So I had a working copy of MagicMirror2 running on a Raspberry Pi 2, but I was running node at version 4.2 (I think, though it could have been npm that was complaining) so I finally bit the bullet and decided to upgrade. Now I’m running node v11.6.0 and npm v6.5.0, but when I try npm install && npm start in the MagicMirror directory, I get an error after it hangs for 30-60 minutes on one piece installing. It’s not always consistent on where it fails and I’ve tried multiple times to no avail. I’ve tried removing and reinstalling nodejs. I’ve tried copying away the MagicMirror directory and running the install script and everything fails at the same point. Here’s the output:

      pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ npm install && npm start
      npm WARN deprecated time-grunt@2.0.0: Deprecated because Grunt is practically unmaintained. Move on to something better. This package will continue to work with Grunt v1, but it will not receive any updates.

      I should note the error appears to be due to a connection time-out, and I’ve checked my dns and pings work fine to the outside world. Does anyone have any thoughts?

        I’ve run npm cache clean --force also to no avail. And here’s the output of the .log file referenced in the initial error:

          I just installed a module and it asked me to update NPM think i did it in the root directory not MagicMirror one can be sure.

          This is what worked for me
          sudo npm i -g npm

            sudo npm i -g npm didn’t work for me, got this error:

                    Sudo still doesn’t work, but I tried it again just ‘npm i -g npm’ in the MagicMirror folder. Now I’m trying npm install again in the MagicMirror folder again, so I guess we’ll see, but it looks like it’s stuck at the same point as last time

                        Do you mean I should upgrade it? this isn’t enough:

                        pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ node -v
                        v11.6.0
