problem when running npm electron rebuild

So I have had a few problems with this and started over a few times, and now again as I fear the reason I had problems was because i missed/skipped some steps during the installation.

Now I have successfully gotten to the npm electron -rebuild command, with only a few errors along the way (which I have resolved and then re run the commands that failed).

So when running it, I gets this:

mmm-awesome-alexa@1.0.0 electron-rebuild /home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-awesome-alexa electron-rebuild --pre-gyp-fix

✖ Rebuild Failed An unhandled error occurred inside electron-rebuild Could not detect abi for version 2.0.0 and runtime electron. Updating “node-abi” might help solve this issue if it is a new release of electron

I looked at a few of the other issues related to this but none of it helped for me (might says that I havent tried changing node version (currently 8.0.0) as having node 8 was the only way I could get “npm install --only=prod” to work.)

Any ideas?

Not to worry tony I appreciate all your help.

On the electron github page I found some answers and managed to get everything installed, had npm run electron-rebuild run without problems. So got one step further. Now I got a problem with the config.js though, but I think i messed up the syntax again so ill go over that tomorrow.

Thanks for all the help!
