@AB_Normal BTW, I am VERY excited to see the two joined together. I would LOVE to approach a blank screen and say, ¨OK Google, show me my home screen"or somthing like that and see my MMM. Then say, ¨OK google, show me my Calendar for today"then a window with my Google gmail calendart shows up. Or say, ÖK Google, schedule a calendar event on December 13th at 7 PM for Family reunion Or some such thing. It would make the mirror truely MAGIC and dynamic.

I went to the link you provided. Is there any progress? I have the orginal MagPi issue 57 kit I purchased from Adafruit. It has the original Pi 3 B audio hat, cardboard, instructions, everything. Is there anything I can do to help or test? I am more of a hardware person than a software guy. I am learning Python 2.7, however. Used to be good at DOS and Basic back in the day.

Replace Markle1 with Mykle1. Sorry , I screwed up your name.

@AB_Normal I did not mention in my last post, but to get past the node.js being too old issue, from the TERMINAL window, I typed, sudo apt-get update then, when that was finished I typed sudo apt-get upgrade you first get the files with the update command, then install them with the upgrade command. That will update ALL of the files/librairies/programs, whatever they are called in linux (Iḿ a windows person), INCLUDING node.js. Now if you run the single line automated command in the terminal, then do as Markle1 suggests and delete the ELECTRON folder, then, from the MagicMirror folder in the terminal window run the npm install, then run the npm start command, you MagicMirror will work. OH, Have to do as MArkle1 says and copy and rename the config.js.sample file to config .js also.

Thank you so much! this helped me a lot. I do not know why this bug /issue has not been addressed. I used the single-line ¨Automated¨ install and THAT failed first because Node.js was too old, so the one line command does not auto-update Node.js. I figured that out and updated the entire Raspberry pie in the CLI, then re-installed MM from the single line ¨Automated¨ command and then it installed cleanly, but your suggestion here to delete electron, then run npm install then npm start has fixed the last final issues. Thanks again!
