      @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

              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?

                A Life? Cool! Where can I download one of those from?

                  @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.

                    The NOOBS installation isn’t a complete version of Jessie, unfortunately. It’s a slightly “lighter” version to fit on the card with the other OS versions.

                      @KirAsh4 Thank-you. I think I’m making good progress because it is getting past the dependancies. However, when I start ‘npm start’ I get about a list of error lines. If I can figure out how to upload files, I will send a text file of the error responses and the npm-debug.log file.

                        Hi @KirAsh4 ,
                        I found the problem. Well, I didn’t. It was under Neokamikaze’s post. I had been using PuTTY in the installation because it made it easier and more accurate to cut and paste directions. The errors were during that PuTTY session. When I key in “npm start” from a command windows directly on the RPi 3, it comes up with the proper screen.

                        I still have some additional issues, but IT RUNS!! thank-you for your help. I proved I couldn’t have done it myself.

                        And thank-you, too, Neokamikaze.
