    Hey,I kind of did a work around. I found this on another forum:
    I also searched for days without success but then, I got it to work quite simply.

    In Raspian click Menu,Preferences,Main Menu Editor
    Click Preferences and check Default applications for LXSession
    Click OK and close main menu editor
    Now click Menu and Under Preferences click on Default applications for LXSession
    LXSession configuration opens
    Click Autostart
    Under Manual autostarted applications paste in your java command line
    click add
    close the LXSession configuration application and reboot your pi
    your java app should run after reboot

          I solved the same issue by using the command:
          sudo pm2 startup systemd -u pi --hp /home/pi

          And then using pm2 save to save the state.

                  @shbatm said in PM2 MM2 Not starting on start up:

                  sudo pm2 startup systemd -u pi --hp /home/pi

                  Can also confirm this worked for me, too.

                  Thank you @shbatm

                    @shbatm I’ve tried the following steps but it still doesn’t work, can you help me?

                    • sudo pm2 startup systemd -u pi --hp /home/pi
                    • nano mm.sh
                    • cd ~/MagicMirror
                      DISPLAY=:0 npm start
                    • CTRL-O
                    • Enter
                    • CTRL-X
                    • chmod +x mm.sh
                    • pm2 start mm.sh
                    • pm2 save
                    • sudo reboot

                    Thanks in advance.

                      @pum there is an existing script provided by MagicMirror now, please try deleting everything on your ~/.pm2 directory, then using:

                      sudo su -c "env PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin pm2 startup linux -u pi --hp /home/pi"
                          pm2 start ~/MagicMirror/installers/pm2_MagicMirror.json
                          pm2 save
                      

                      You may have to use systemd instead of linux in the first line if you get an error.
