Auto-Start Failed

[jaerenull]

Hey so I’m having trouble auto-starting my magic mirror.
I used this guide:
https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/wiki/Auto-Starting-MagicMirror
And followed it line by line.
That being said, I dug through the forums and it seems like people were having trouble doing this in the older versions of MM but I couldn’t find anything current.

This is what I’ve been getting. It looks fine, but the mm.sh file just doesn’t actually execute on startup. I have to manually enter
pm2 start mm.sh
to get the MM to actually start.

Any help with this?

Thanks!

It doesn’t seem as if you executed the command circled in red.

So I went back and ran that sudo command.
