Thanks for the suggestion but I managed to get it to work with help from @sdetweil on my other forum post.
Steps to follow are as follow:
sudo npm i -g npm
cd MagicMirror
rm -rf node_modules/
npm install
All done :-)
@sdetweil , It worked!
Thank you for the recommendation.
Still doesn’t make sense why it stopped working, unless there’s been an updated repository in the last week.
Thanks again and keep well.
@sdetweil , I’ve checked both Pi2 and Pi3 and they both return the following - exactly the same:
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ uname -a
Linux raspberrypi 4.19.50-v7+ #896 SMP Thu Jun 20 16:11:44 BST 2019 armv7l GNU/Linux

Hi Sam
Thank you, I will give it another go and feed back. Just going to reload Raspbian again and try the above.
Would you recommend using the following command to clear the node modules inside the MagicMirror folder?
rm -rf node_modules/
Hi Sam
Thanks for the response. There are no differences other than hardware. I used the exact same Raspbian (NOOBS) image, installed from scratch and followed the same steps.
Only difference is that I installed it on the Pi2 earlier last week, and on the Pi3 a few days later.
I will get another SD Card and try it again on the Pi2 and see if it has the same issue now.
I have the exact same issue and tried countless installs and re-installs without any success. I installed it on another pi a few days ago without any issues, but have been struggling to get it going on my Pi3 for the last 2 days and it is driving me nuts.
I tried the above recommendation also without any luck.
Platform: Raspberry Pi 3B
Node Version: 10.15.2
MagicMirror Version: V2
Description: For some reason I am not able to install MagicMirror on my Raspi 3B. This is straight after loading a brand new NOOBS setup (3.1.1.1) and then using the Automatic install url to install npm and MagicMirror. It Installs npm but when installing the MagicMirror depencies I get an error saying ‘npm ERR! cb()never called!’ followed by ‘Unable to install dependencies’ .
Strange thing is that I used the same NOOBS installation on a Raspi 2 last Wednesday and it installed MagicMirror without any issues. Did anyone else experience the same issue when trying to install it on Raspi 3B with the lastest Raspbian Buster (June 2019 release)?
Steps to Reproduce: See description above
Expected Results: Smooth installation of MagicMirror
Actual Results: Errors during installation, not able to install dependencies.
Configuration: N/A
2019-07-15T06_14_28_892Z-debug.log
Additional Notes: I’ve tried checking for a later version of npm and reinstalling node.Js without any success.
Help would be appreciated. Thanks
