what pi? uname - a will help

what pi os? lsb_release -a will help

if you used my scripted install it probably would have fixed the problem see https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts

This problem is due to improper installation of electron.

Try to remove node_modules and npm cache clean --force

After doing this, run npm i

A piece of advice have a good internet connection to avoid having a corrupt installation of electron !
