        in the beginning of this post from 2021, it was recommended NOT to use this with a raspberry pi
        today, in 2024, I have a raspberry pi 5, does that matter? lol

        anyway, the left is on my pi 5 and the right is viewing it on a browser on my computer

        is there an update on a lite version?

            @greedyvegan you will need to enable the gpu in the system boot.txt

            AND

            tell MagicMirror electron to use it

            export ELECTRON_ENABLE_GPU=1
            

            in the script before

            npm  start
            

            if you used my script to install MagicMirror , that is ~/MagicMirror/installers/mm.sh

                @greedyvegan that pm2 error is usually caused by using sudo sometime when you shouldn’t

                what happened before that? is that the first time w pm2

                maybe

                pm2 status
                pm2 delete xxx
                where xxx is the name or number on the MagicMirror line

                then run my fixuppm2 script

                pm2 seems fragile recently. not sure why

                  i accidently ran pm2 start instead of pm2 start mm
                  then it returned

                  [PM2][ERROR] File ecosystem.config.js not found

                  then i ran pm2 start mm
                  then it returned

                  update -
                  it’s currently running (it was always running, it just had a weird error)
                  and told me to copy/paste

                  sudo env PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin /usr/local/lib/node_modules/pm2/bin/pm2 startup systemd -u pi --hp /home/pi
