I ran the following in terminal

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:

it is saying the user is not pi, but this is on a rasberry pi

@WM1600 yes, your username is will, not pi

can you do

uname -a
file $(which bash)

I think you have a hybrid system
64 bit kernel
32 bit runtime

and you have the wrong (64 bit) node installed

@WM1600 ok then…

hm… trying to figure out the best way to fix this

the bad node install is hard to get out of.

I think redoing the sd card is the cleanest

use my backup script to save the MagicMirror setup.
https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror-backup-restore

it’s three files plus any addon files made by modules, like the token file for photos
one little directory.

if you use github then it can save all that to a private repo u build on github.

otherwise copy the folder off somewhere you can get it back

make the new sd card,
boot, don’t update during bootup
install MagicMirror using my install script
https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts
which will update node/npm too

then restore your MagicMirror setup

Sam,

wanted to get back with you and let you know that the re-install worked.

Thank you very much for the help, I could not have done it with out you!

Will
