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

How are you installing? Manually? Using the install script?

@cowboysdude Well on a fresh rasbian stretch R Pi 3 B+, I typed this in the terminal:
curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/master/installers/raspberry.sh | bashAnd 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

fresh rasbian stretch
yes, stretch doesn’t install npm or node, which are required…
follow this

@sdetweil Thanks! I’ve installed nodejs and npm according to that.
Now do I try installing MagicMirror with that curl script again?
-
@dæmoneyes yes… best to erase the MM folder and start again
cd ~ rm -rf MagicMirrorthen run the install script again
what versions of node and npm were installed
node -vand
npm -v
-
@sdetweil node v8.15.0
npm v6.4.1Ok going to try to erase MM with your script now! Thank you so much for your help!

@dæmoneyes looks good (node/npm)… let us know how it goes
