@rukytech you said yes to pm2, SO… its JOB is to start and keep mm running…

SO,

alt-spacebar,n to minimize MM

ctrl-alt-t to open a terminal window

pm2 status to see what being managed
pm2 stop MagicMirror
or
pm2 stop the number of the line (0 probably)
or
pm2 stop all

pm2 --help for all the other thing pm2 can do

Hello everyone,
I’m Patrick from France. I’m also trying to install MagicMirror on an old 32 bit computer. Like Rukytech, I’ve installed Raspberry pi OS and tried the sdetweil script installation. Unfortunately, I get a 404 error apparently, when installing node.js.

I get the following message:
curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 404
Error: download preflight failed for ‘20.9.0’ (https://nodejs.org/dist/v20.9.0
/node-v20.9.0- Linux-x86. tar. xz)

And indeed, it seems that the file node-v20.9.0- Linux-x86. tar. xz no longer exists.
Thanks in advance if anyone has an idea. I hope it’s not a problem to have resurrected this old topic.
