      @ankonaskiff17 issue stream?

      have to look at the changelog of the tag

      you should be able to

      git checkout -b branch_name tagname
      

      I think.

      but if you used my script to install, then I strip out all the extra branches to save space

      so you would have to use the clone approach

        @ankonaskiff17 I did this

        git clone -b v2.19.0 https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror.git mm2.19
        

        to get the v2.19.0 tag into the folder called mm2.19

        if you don’t have the name at the end the folder will be MagicMirror
        (and fail if there is one already)

          @sdetweil Used your script and worked like a charm. Didnt put in mm2.22 at end since I had no previous install.

          Then did the various appropriate steps from the “official” manual install, like node and everything running as desired.

              @ankonaskiff17 I meant the one where you use the version tag. Not the one that
              alternative Installation methods is in . That pulls in the current version which is causing me problems with the ALT key

              git clone -b v2.19.0 https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror.git mm2.19

              I was unsure if git clone -b v2.19.0 https://github.com/... was going to install node.js, or PM2 so I did those portions of manual installation.

                  Hello all,
                  I just install MagiMirror on a new RPI5 and I get the same problem : Alt key doesn’t give me the menu.
                  I have compared electron.js from an old installation that works fine with the one I just install on my RPI5 and I remark the line “electronOptionsDefaults.autoHideMenuBar = true;” is missing in the new version. I add this line in the new version, similar place in the code list, and now the Alt command works like the old version : I get the menu.
                  So it is solved for me, until the next update of electron.js file…

                  If it can help you…

                  EricD

                      I have a SmartiPi Touch 2 and a SmartiPi Touch Pro I want to install MM on with both focusing on weather and maybe an item based on user request.

                      Do you recommend going for the latest greatest Bookworm install or an older Pi OS version to build off of? I’m not averse to a learning experience but don’t want to beat my head on a cinderblock wall either.
                      I had the infamous magic smoke :dashing_away: come out of the Pi 4 on my Ender 3D Printer and thinking about doing a MM or two while new parts come for printer. Nothing like feeding the Pi 4B with 24V instead of 5V.
                      Melted my Logitech Mouse/Keyboard dongle.
