    I helped a friend do a setup, we used :

    • The latest RPi 3 B+
    • Rasperian Stretch with Desktop and recommended software ( from https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/)
    • Software update prior to installation

    The initial script failed on dependancies and depracated packages. Just could not get it to work.

    Today I followed the instructions on :

    • The RPi 3 B
    • Rasperian Stretch with Desktop ( from https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/ )
    • no update

    While I did get warnings, everything worked like a charm ( well - more or less - I forgot to copy the config.)

    I know from another package ( https://octoprint.org/ - The OctoPi ) that some work needed to be done to support the RPi 3 B+ (Newer CPU ? Drivers ? Chipsets? - no really sure). Could this be the issue?

    I will borrow his RPi 3 B+ and try again next week if no one else has comparables.

      @alainchiasson said in MM2 my first try:

      The initial script failed on dependancies and depracated packages. Just could not get it to work.

      The installation script hasn’t been updated to handle some of the changes in the latest version of Raspbian. I would ignore it and follow the steps for a manual installation.

          I too had the same problem with my attempt at installing the MM program. I found this on
          https://www.w3schools.com/nodejs/nodejs_raspberrypi.asp. i used it as a long shot as i was running out of things to try. it worked and i now have MM up and running. I am using the AIY project file as install on raspberry pi 2.

              @seramik - Warnings are just that: warnings. I usually ignore them and concentrate on errors. Errors will prevent your mirror from working.

              This, OTOH, is important:

              WARNING! Could not find config file. Please create one. Starting with default configuration.

              To fix this, you need to copy the included sample configuration file to its final destination. This will become your working configuration file and what you will edit as you add modules.

              cd ~/MagicMirror/config
              cp config.js.sample config.js
              

              So now when you want to change the behavior of your mirror, you will edit the config.js file.
