Hello,
I installed Magic Mirror on RasPi 2 with stretch Lite via SSH. I used the installer command
bash -c “$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/master/installers/raspberry.sh)”the installation went smooth and fast.
but after rebooting i am seeing the console with pi logged in. THe MM doesnt start.
I SSed into pi and from MM directory gave command DISPLAY=:0 npm start
this give mefollowing error. could any one guide please

If you use the lite version of raspbian, u need to use this guide: https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/wiki/jessie-lite-installation-guide
The guide also works with stretch, but you probably need to install extra stuff manually, when using modules
But i would recommend to use the full version of raspbian stretch.

Thanks for replying. I just did it on full version on raspbian stretch. Installer went fine. I also pressed y when it asked for installing pm2
now after i reboot the pi, MagicMirror splash screen comes but i boot into the desktop
when i ran npm start dev , i can see modules working.
if i try to run pm2 log, i get error
-bash: pm2: command not foundWhat am i doing wrong in here?
