Try deleting the electron folder from this path:
`MagicMirror/node_modules/electron

Then run npm install in the MagicMirror directory. This should install electron for you.

Then run npm start in the MagicMirror directory

Unfortunately this didn’t work for me, but I did find a solution. I had to upgrade nodejs manually.

npm cache clean -f
npm install -g n
n stable

I seem to get the following error when installing magicmirror on a 100% fresh raspbian jessie 7-05-2017 pi 3b. In addition I also get this error when attemping to install electron directly from their repo. I have tried deleting my node_modules and reinstalling again as well with no success.
