I followed the manual installation but cannot execute yarn install or npm install:

pi@RPI3B:~ $ cd MirrorOS
pi@RPI3B:/MirrorOS $ npm install
bash: npm: command not found

I have the latest Raspbian Stretch on Raspberry Pi 3

Thanx for your quick reply. I've installed node.js ( sudo apt-get install nodejs npm ) but still having issues running npm:

pi@RPI3B:~ $ sudo npm install

npm ERR! package.json This is most likely not a problem with npm itself.

I have the latest node.js and npm installed. I did as you told but still no avail:

pi@RPI3B:~ $ cd MirrorOS
pi@RPI3B:~/MirrorOS $ npm start

MirrorOS@0.1.0 start /home/pi/MirrorOS
./system/starter.sh
