@Bangee said in Installing MM2:

as I c, you’ve installed your MagicMirror in the /root directory.
I’m not sure if this is working so far.

Try to install everything as pi and not as root in the /home/pi directory and let us know what happend.

try whoami -> pi

update your distribution with sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

then cd /home/pi or only cd

and install again: curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/master/installers/raspberry.sh | bash

worked for me !! thanks

at least i shouldnt tried to install MM2 as root

Hi,

I found my problem. I need start “npm start” directly on my session “pi”.

Thanks all

@Bangee
first, I’m rather new to the RPi.
Second, I’m having issues installing MM2.

1. started with a 32G sd and installed Raspian.
2. then did sudo apt-get update, followed by sudo apt-get upgrade.
3. cd /home/pi.
4. Then curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/master/installers/raspberry.sh | bash
5. All went well, except the last lines, which were:
   Cloning MagicMirror Done!
   Installing dependencies …
   bash: line 108: npm: command not found
   Unable to install dependencies!
6. the cd ~/MagicMirror followed by npm start
   I get the following error message, “bash: npm: command not found”.
   What am I doing wrong, please.

Missing some info here: Which Raspberry Pi? Which version of Rasbian? Have you tried following the complete installation guide, from unboxing to having MM² up and running?

[Bu52]

@KirAsh4 It is a RPi 3. Raspian is version 1.9.2. I did it all with one exception. I used Noobs to install Raspian instead of installing Raspian directly to my SD Card. All else is the same.

I will try it again without using Noobs.
