Error installing electron-chromedriver with npm.

Ix · Jan 20, 2019, 2:22 PM

Hello!
I have my Mirror for over two years now and fresh installed it several times.
Since the MM-update to 2.6.0 I’m not able to install it anymore. I even fresh installed the whole system without success so I hope you guys can help me :)

After git pulling the MM files and cd’ing into MagicMirror folder the “npm install” command fails at installing electron-chromedriver.
To me it looks like a permission problem, but even sudo or chown doesn’t do the trick (or maybe I’m to noob).

This is how every attempt to install MM ends:

I’m sure I just miss something very basic :D

sry for pushing, but I still wasn’t able to solve this problem. My Mirror is dead for about two months now :(

electron just refuses to get installed on my pi

that error is typically cause NPM is downlevel…

do

npm i -g npm

to update

An updated npm did the trick for me :)
