i cloned the magic mirror 2 repository and tried running the "npm run start" command in the VS code terminal but it will not launch electron (which i have installed and got running before using the mac os terminal). I just get this returned in VS code term "/node_modules/.bin/electron: No such file or directory." any idea what im doing wrong?

Great video, thanks for sharing... any chances you can post a video or page in which we can learn from all of your Magic Mirror... :) seems pretty nice

Thank you for making this, tho any comment on what I should learn before trying to dive into this? (other than javascript?)

I followed the steps exactly but cannot see Hello World on the magic mirror interface while the default modules are showing up.

This would have been a great video but it's to hard see your screen capture is to dark or not large enough sorry.
