              thank you for help, i had to reinstal system once more becase there were a lot of errors.
              After new instalation pm2 didn’t start properly. after few hours i found why.
              In pm2_MagicMirrorPi0.json
              line:
              “script” : “/MagicMirror/PiZero/startMagicMirror.sh”,
              should be :
              “script” : “/MagicMirror/PiZero/startMagicMirrorPi0.sh”,

                which installer are you using? I don’t see the filename pm2_MagicMirrorPi0.json
                or “script” : “/MagicMirror/PiZero/startMagicMirror.sh”,
                in the raspberry.sh script…

                  https://www.dropbox.com/s/izj6dz2z9557oga/raspberry.sh?dl=0

                  to use it like normal

                  bash -c “$(curl -sL https://www.dropbox.com/s/izj6dz2z9557oga/raspberry.sh?dl=0)”

                    If I try to install magic mirror on the pi zero i get an error that electron 3.0.13 not found for armv6 , by editing the package.json file to specify electron 2.0.18. I can get it to work, although I cannot find a version of electron for armv6 on the electron repo. Any idea why 2.0.18 would work? What would I need to try to compile electron 3 for armv6?

                    https://github.com/electron/electron/releases/tag/v2.0.18

                    Thanks!

                        @johnnyt1111 why work. Cause electron 2.0.18 binary exists and 3.0.13 does not. There may be a technical reason, or they skipped it due to low demand.
