Thank you! That worked a treat, and made me feel like a numpty :P
Hopefully a final issue to resolve before I’m up and running, the automated script seems to have completed all tasks successfully, but when I run npm start the start script fails, and I see this in the debug logs:

Are you running it through an SSH connection? If so, try running
DISPLAY=:0 nohup npm start &
If that works, I recommend using pm2 to automatically start your mirror. You can find the guide to get pm2 to work with here. -
Hey Mochman, I get the same error whether running through SSH or on my Pi directly.
I tested with your command, and the output of the nohup.out file is:
> magicmirror@2.2.2 start /home/pi/MagicMirror > sh run-start.sh npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE npm ERR! errno 1 npm ERR! magicmirror@2.2.2 start: `sh run-start.sh` npm ERR! Exit status 1 npm ERR! npm ERR! Failed at the magicmirror@2.2.2 start script. npm ERR! This is probably not a problem with npm. There is likely additional logging output above. npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in: npm ERR! /home/pi/.npm/_logs/2018-03-11T13_33_02_140Z-debug.logThanks!

What’s in that logfile that was created?
