<![CDATA[Stuck at Unable to install dependencies!]]>So this is my first time working with a R Pi, or even any programming really. I got the Raspberry Pi 3 B+ and a 32gb micro sd card so I could finally build a smart mirror.
I’ve been following the EASY SMART MIRROR SETUP video by Grensom on Youtube.

But when I try to install Magic Mirror, it gets stuck at this line.

Any help would be very much appreciated. Also as I mentioned, I really have little clue what I’m doing so please talk to me like I’m an idiot who called up technical support haha.

TIA

cd ~
rm -rf MagicMirror

then run the install script again

what versions of node and npm were installed

node -v

and

npm -v

Now do I try installing MagicMirror with that curl script again?

fresh rasbian stretch

yes, stretch doesn’t install npm or node, which are required…

follow this

curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/master/installers/raspberry.sh | bash

And then it runs that install until the line
“unable to install dependencies!”

Hmmm I’m not sure if you can see the pic I uploaded in my post (it’s not showing up when i look at my post), but it right click in the blank spot on my original post, below the word ‘But’ and above the word ‘Any’ you can open the image in a new tab to see everything I did and where I get stuck
