Not to be mister smartypants … but it’s mentioned in the Readme … ;)
https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror#updating-you-magicmirror

finally a link to the readme :P

@wjdw87 The readme.md is also downloaded with the MirrorMirror code when you run the installation command. You’ll find it on your Pi at ~/MagicMirror/README.md.

But is there a way (a sh-script) to update MM and all (!) of the installed (different) modules in a batch. I now do have to go through all the directories recursively. That takes lots of time and is quite annoying. Any idea?
Thx Jimmy

I use this script, which comes with no guarantee:

 #!/usr/bin/env bash

cd /home/pi/MagicMirror
echo "######### CHECKING MAGIC MIRROR ##########"
git fetch
if [ $(git rev-parse HEAD) != $(git rev-parse @{u}) ]
then
    echo "######### UPGRADING MAGIC MIRROR #########"
    git pull
    npm install
else
    echo "######## NO UPGRADE REQUIRED #########"
fi
echo ""

cd modules

for directory in *; do
    if [[ -d ${directory} && ${directory} != "node_modules" && ${directory} != "default" ]]; then
        echo "######### CHECKING ${directory} ##########"
        cd ${directory}
        git fetch
        if [ $(git rev-parse HEAD) != $(git rev-parse @{u}) ]; then
            echo "######### UPGRADING ${directory} #########"
            git pull
            if [[ -e "package.json" && -f "package.json" ]]; then
                npm install
            fi
        else
            echo "######## NO UPGRADE REQUIRED #########"
        fi
        echo ""
        cd ..
    fi
done

@izanbard Hello, added a restart of the mirror (via pm2) if an npm install has been done and also added “–production” to the npm install command. Sometimes the module-developer have lot’s of extra stuff added in the package list just for developing. :)
I’m currently now running this script via CRON every night. :)

#!/usr/bin/env bash

updated=false

cd /home/pi/MagicMirror
echo "Checking for MagicMirror updates."
git fetch
if [ $(git rev-parse HEAD) != $(git rev-parse @{u}) ]
then
    echo "Found, updating..."
    git pull
    npm install
    updated=true
    echo "Update done."
else
    echo "No update needed."
fi
echo ""

cd modules

for directory in *; do
    if [[ -d ${directory} && ${directory} != "node_modules" && ${directory} != "default" ]]; then
        echo "Checking for ${directory} updates."
        cd ${directory}
        git fetch
        if [ $(git rev-parse HEAD) != $(git rev-parse @{u}) ]; then
            echo "Found, updating ${directory}..."
            git pull
            if [[ -e "package.json" && -f "package.json" ]]; then
                echo "package.joson changed for ${directory}, installing..."
                npm install --production 
                updated=true
                echo "Update done."
            fi
        else
            echo "No update needed."
        fi
        echo ""
        cd ..
    fi
done

if $updated; then
    echo "Restart of MM needed, restarting now."
    pm2 restart mm
fi
echo "All done. :)"

@izanbard Thank you.

 #!/usr/bin/env bash

cd /home/pi/MagicMirror
echo "######### CHECKING MAGIC MIRROR ##########"

Has anyone else deployed this script?

When I try to run it as a .py or .sh there is an error on line 6 stating invalid syntax at the end of the first echo row. Any suggestions on clearing this issue?

Delete the " and add straight ones again " (If You edited this file via an alternate editor on win/Mac then it might be a cursive "… try it, worked for me!
