Need Help with magicmirror

[sdetweil]

@WM1600 rename the folder

cd ~/
mv MagicMirror MagicMirror. old

then run my install script
see
https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts

it will do all the setup install node and npm,
sometimes the problem
for install is so messed up, you have to refresh the sd card and then run my script

the script will also setup pm2 to launch at boot if you say yes at the prompt

if the install is successful you an copy the two json files for Google photos from the prior folder

@sdetweil thank you,
I have re-installed Magic Mirror and chose to disable screen save and to start magicmirror on boot-up.
the install worked for magicmirror and and when I go to the magic mirror folder in terminal and type “npm run start”, magicmirror will start.

when I turn the terminal off and boot it up, It comes up with a magicmirror boot screen, but then the terminal continues to the normal start-up.
At this point, I can still go to terminal and type npm run start and run magicmirror

Am I missing a step to transition fully into magicmirror?

@WM1600 can you do this

pm2 flush
sudo reboot

then
pm2 logs --lines=50

[WM1600]

@sdetweil
ok,
I have done those.
no change

[sdetweil]

@WM1600 what is the output of the pm2 logs command? I need to see

[WM1600]

@sdetweil

the terminal looks like this

will@raspberrypi:~ $ pm2 logs --lines=50
will@raspberrypi:~ $

I do not see it doing anything.

[pm2.jpg](Input file contains unsupported image format)
I tried to upload the PM2.log but it says I can only upload picture files.

so I changed pm2.log to pm2.jpg. dont know it that will work.

@WM1600

ok, let’s do.

pm2 status to see what apps it is managing

[WM1600]

@sdetweil

when I type in pm2 status

I dont see anything

this is the terminal copied:

will@raspberrypi:~ $ pm2 status
will@raspberrypi:~ $

[sdetweil]

@WM1600 hmmm weird

run the fixuppm2 script from here
https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts

[WM1600]

@sdetweil

I ran the following in terminal

will@raspberrypi:~ $ bash -c “$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/fixuppm2.sh)”
the log will be saved in /home/will/MagicMirror/installers/pm2_setup.log
/usr/local/bin/node: 1: Syntax error: “)” unexpected
/usr/local/bin/node: 1: Syntax error: “)” unexpected
will@raspberrypi:~ $

I have seen “Syntax error: “)” unexpected” before but that is the first time I have seen it twice

here is the log file:
