Fresh Install / node: bad option: --run

r0t

Hello,

i’m super fresh into MagicMirror and on my first installation attempt i have problems.

I have a Raspi4B with RaspiOS

I installed nodejs

node --version

returns -> v20.19.2

I have pulled the git with

   git clone https://github.com/MagicMirrorOrg/MagicMirror

and i’m in the repository but the command

node --run install-mm

Gives me this prompt: node: bad option: --run

i’m feeling dumb but im not very got at linux at all ,D bu i want too learn

@r0t we need node 22.18, the release notes say

If you had used the scripted install it would have handled that

OK ist working with your Script … How convenient
Thx you for the super fast answer and your work putting together that Script.

@sdetweil first try with your Script failed with this prompt
