I don’t know what I am doing wrong, but every time I try to make any kinds of changes, I end up breaking the mirror.

I would be greatful if someone could help me get the mirror running again

Here are some logs

@redink said in Every time I run an update, something breaks. This time is no exception:
lectron failed to install correctly, please delete node_modules/electron and try installing again
sadly it happens
delete the folder as suggested and do
cd ~/MagicMirror

npm install [email protected]
how did u upgrade?  manual git pull or my upgrade script?
what hardware are you on?
uname -a

and lsb_release -a
will give us info
little look at your output again

you are way downlevel…
if u had used my script, I would have upgraded node and npm for you .

see https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts
I try to help avoid the fatal upgrades that you experience
latest MM won’t run on raspi os stretch or earlier, so one has to upgrade sd card  too.

@sdetweil, i just kinda kept trying random things, including your script and I think I made things worse. I did try to update node and npm, but something is really out of whack.
The error I keep seeing over and over again is
npm WARN npm npm does not support Node.js v10.24.0
npm WARN npm You should probably upgrade to a newer version of node as we
npm WARN npm can't make any promises that npm will work with this version.
when I run “node -v”, i see v19.8.1, so I have no idea where 10.24.0 is coming from. I am close to just nuking my pi and starting from scratch.
