      magicmirror@2.6.0 start /home/pi/MagicMirror

      run-start.sh: 4: run-start.sh: electron: not found
      npm ERR! file sh
      npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE
      npm ERR! errno ENOENT
      npm ERR! syscall spawn
      npm ERR! magicmirror@2.6.0 start: sh run-start.sh
      npm ERR! spawn ENOENT
      npm ERR!
      npm ERR! Failed at the magicmirror@2.6.0 start script.
      npm ERR! This is probably not a problem with npm. There is likely additional logging output above.

        @Stevo Please provide a little more info about your installation:

        Are you on a Raspberry Pi or something different
        How did you install the MM?
        Have you run npm install?
        Are you trying to start it from SSH or on the computer directly?
