      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

      Error

      pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ DISPLAY=:0 npm start

      magicmirror@2.4.1 start /home/pi/MagicMirror
      sh run-start.sh

        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.

          @cruunnerr .

          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 found

          What am i doing wrong in here?
