Magicmirror: Never ending dependency problems

Created on 12 Apr 2016 · 19Comments · Source: MichMich/MagicMirror

I keep getting to the end of the install process and it is telling me /home/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules/electron-prebuilt/dist/electron: error while l oading shared libraries: libnotify.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory but the library changes every time I install the proper one. Am I missing a package or do I just need to get through all of these one by one?
debug.txt Here is my debug file as well.

Thanks for your report!

Would you mind testing the electron-quick-start to see if that one works?

Same error, unfortunately.

I notice you are running a very old version of Node. (v0.12.6). Try upgrading to 5.10.1.

I successfully upgraded but now I am running into this issue. I don't even particularly know where to start with this, thanks for your help nevertheless!

We're ready! Run [DISPLAY=:0 npm start] from the MagicMirror directory.

You are not in your MagicMirror folder.
Try:

cd ~/MagicMirror
npm start

You're right! Sorry, I made that mistake earlier and posted the wrong copy. Here is what happens once I am correctly inside the directory
