      @sdetweil I did use your install script for the core installation and that is all fine and functional. I decided to give 64 bit a try because figured if the base MM didn’t like it, just reformat card and do 32 bit.
      Hoping I can put MM SD card in laptop card reader and portable drive with files plug in to USB on laptop and it just be a copy/paste exercise in VSC.

      Most of modules I use are pretty basic. I had found a setup I liked and hoping it’s plug and play.

      @sdetweil Glad you made it out of hospital.

        @ankonaskiff17 that should work…

        u might want to look at my backup/restore scripts.

        they backup config.js and custom.css and the URLs of all the modules u have installed

        so 3 small files.

        and then on restore copies back the 2 files and uses the URLs to reinstall all the modules and (fix the missing dependencies too)…

        https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror-backup-restore

        I need to make them so they can be executed from the repo… but haven’t done that yet…

        i made it so the 3 files are in a git repo, so you version them and then can restore any particular version…
        and push the git repo to your github (in a private repo)

          @sdetweil I was just reading the topic about fix for black screen and while I need to read several more times to get my arms around it, I was wondering if I can do those scripts on the files before I copy them over. Instead of ssh’ing in to Pi open terminal go to drive and see if they are problematic before moving?
          I would back up exiting files in case I blew something up.

            @ankonaskiff17 u can run the backup script on your sd folder… it takes a -s parm for source
            (-h shows the syntax)

            this would create the 3 files…

            then u could run the restore on the new system by copying the backup folder to the new system
            (and -h shows syntax)

            this reinstalls the modules from github… not copies any of their files…

              @sdetweil Found my first 3rd party module lacking “request”. Your tutorial worked like a charm

                @ankonaskiff17 @sdetweil Found a new way scorch a Pi on this project.
                Had a snap together case I put Pi in, snapped closed and I’ll admit, it to some muscle to snap case closed.
                Shortly thereafter I caught the unmistakable odor of burning electronics.
                I snapped the SD card so it was bent like 90°
                The Pi did not like that.
