@sdetweil Hi,

Yes, it is hooked up to a real 24in display over HDMI.

I am not running this over vnc.

@sdetweil Hi Sam,

Thank you very much for your reply.

I’ve tried earasing the node_modules folder, but still no luck. Exact same error message.

Thank you, Sam, for your reply!

MagicMirror installed successfully with the --only=prod command, the error code about chromedriver has disappeared.

However, I am still getting the same error message (errno 126) when trying to npm start the program, in fact, the exact same error message.

I am really curious about why I am getting a permission error, as I’ve installed it without any privileges.

@lavolp3 Hi, sorry for the very late follow-up, I was very occupied last week.

I’ve cleared the micro sd card and started from scratch, reinstalling raspbian and MM without Sudo privilege or any type of permission restriction.

The bad news is that it still gave the same error message. The good news is that I might’ve found the reason behind the failure. It seems to not be able to download nor install chromedriver.js. This might be caused by me being in mainland China right now, and the “great firewall of China” has blocked the download.

Is there any other way to get the chromedriver.js files and manually put it into the MM folder?

Thank you very much for your time!

Ok, I will give that a shot today!

Thx

Thank you very much for your reply!

Yes, I am in the MM directory (cd MagicMirror) before attempting to start.

Sorry for the mistake w the output stuff. First time in this forum 😁

Hi, thx lots for checking this out!

I was just did a fresh install of MM on my rpi 3, the installation went fine. But when I tried to start MM by npm start or npm start dev, it fails n reports ERRNO 126, permission denied, and “this is probablity not a problem with npm…additional logging output above”.

I’ve tried reinstalling MM, reinstalling raspbian (buster), running npm start as root, but still no luck.

I’ve hooked up my rpi directly to a display via hdmi n everything works fine.
