@sdetweil does that mean I can’t use any modules that use the internet? im using ssh to do these codes and I plan to use alexa and stuff with it so it will require internet use, so what did you mean by that?

@sdetweil I am now given this, what do I do next?

What do I do now?

@sdetweil I believe u figured out why it was restarting, a common cause of it is lack of power, and some person had problems with their keyboard drawing too much power so I unplugged it and it went all the way through without rebooting, but I still got some issues, im left with

@sdetweil 32 gb

@jmartin1009 it also does that everytime I try to install electron so maybe that’s why it isn’t working :confused: is there any fix for this?

@sdetweil oh it reboots everytime I install magicmirror, how do I prevent this? because it always reboots like 1/3 of the way through the progress bar and it always did it so I thought it was normal lol can I stop this? I have a pi 3+ btw

@sdetweil okay I did all of that and it said it cloned and everthing, and then it rebooted during the install, now what? lol

@sdetweil yes I deleted the contents of the old folder and changed the name and redownloaded MagicMirror

@sdetweil another error, it says

npm ERR! file /home/pi/MagicMirror/package.json
npm ERR! code EJSONPARSE
npm ERR! JSON.parse Failed to parse json
npm ERR! JSON.parse Unexpected end of JSON input while parsing near ' '
npm ERR! JSON.parse Failed to parse package. json data.
npm ERR! JSON.parse package.json must be actual JSON, not just JavaScript.

@sdetweil still says

electron: not found

Could this be because it says that node_modules is missing? I did both npm install and npm install electron@3.0.10 in MagicMirror.

@sdetweil do I do npm install in pi or magic mirror?

@sdetweil it also says that “local package.json exists, but node_modules is missing, did you mean to install?”

@sdetweil the pi reboots and then I change to magicmirror folder and try to start magic mirror and it still says it can’t find electron for some reason :/

@sdetweil got this, now what?

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ npm init -y
Wrote to /home/pi/package.json:

  "name": "pi",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "",

  "scripts": {
    "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
  },
  "keywords": [],
  "author": "",
  "license": "ISC"
}

@sdetweil npm is 6.4.1 and node is 10.15.1. When I try to install electron now it just says that my cache input stream is empty. when I tried to get to node modules like @bhepler said, it said no such file or directory, and when I force cleared it gave me a warning message saying “I sure hope you know what you are doing.”

@bhepler I am given this error screen

@bhepler am I trying to install the correct version of electron or is there another version I should be using, the guide I was trying said to use 1.7.6 but people on here say 2.0.0
