@strawberry-3.141 i upgraded my version of node to 6.6.0, still same issue:

also forgot to mention i am using a RPi 3

Alternatively I thought trying a manual installation would have a different outcome and have come across the following issue:

npm start dev

> magicmirror@2.0.0 start /home/pi/MagicMirror
> electron js/electron.js "dev"

sh: 1: electron: not found
