PM2 Error

[KnottyCord]

Ok so I’m following the guide to install the mirror. I’m now at the auto start part. I did the command “sudo npm install -g pm2” as pi user. Next I did “pm2 startup”, I do the command I ask and I get and error.

Please help!

@KnottyCord Don’t you have to add your mm.sh in the start command? I’m also new at this, so I could be very wrong at this.

@Preve I don’t think so so because if you follow the step on the guide this step of adding the mm.sh is after.

KnottyCord is right. pm2 startup is not used to start the mm2 process but to start and initialize pm2 itself.
Just to be sure … you ran pm2 startup and that told you to run the command your screenshot shows? There are other users with similar problems: https://github.com/Unitech/pm2/issues/2574

Yes that’s what i did. Run the command pm2 startup. It gave me a command to enter. When I pressed enter it was not working I keep giving me an error!

Changing the command form this:
sudo su -c "env PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin pm2 startup linux -u pi --hp /home/pi" to this:
sudo su -c "env PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin pm2 startup systemd -u pi --hp /home/pi"
seem to work!

@KnottyCord You are correct - you are running systemd (not plain old linux). PM2 does not seem to “realize” that.

Note that there is ANOTHER problem with PM2 that is now reported as a bug - read all about it here:

Best of luck - and don’t hesitate to ask for help!
