Failed to install MM@2.30.0 to Raspberry Pi 3B+ node v18.19.0

Macky

Good day and hope everyone is doing well.

May I request for assistance on how to move forward with the MM version that is compatible with my existing Raspberry Pi 3B+.

I tried to reinstall MagicMirror2 to my old Raspberry Pi 3B+ using a Samsung 32GB micro SDHC Card, with reference to the latest available version indicated in the documentation @2.30.0.

However, at some point it failed with errors as indicated below, which I captured from the generated log file …

44 verbose pkgid magicmirror@2.30.0
45 verbose cwd /home/miiprado/MagicMirror

I do appreciate anyone for kind assistance. Thank you in advance.

@Macky see
https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/19271/version-2-30-0-requires-updated-nodejs-warning-for-pi0w-installations?page=3

if you run my upgrade script step 2 and change the word apply to force it will fix it for you

or erase the MagicMirror folder and run the install script
