Installing on a Pi Zero
-
@qu1que Thanks for the link! Glad I’m not the only looking into this problem, hopefully we can get electron 3 working on the pi zero. but updating the package.json electron to “^2.0.0” will install 2.0.18 and will work with latest version of magic mirror
-
can you explain in detail how to do it? I’m new and have the same problem
-
@liamangelus git clone the mm repo from GitHub.
Then edit the package.json file and change the number behind electron to the string mentioned above “^2.0.0”Then follow the manual install steps from the readme
-
After editing the electron version in the package.json as ^ 2.0.0, I will apply the other steps in the same way. If I encounter a problem I would like to help you again. Thanx a lot.
-
That works for me. Thanks!
-
Again the same problem when updating to 2.8.0 version
-
@qu1que yes, sadly the electron folks have not provided updates for pi zero
-
looks like changing the electron version to “^2.0.0” isn;t working anymore as it tries to intsall 1.8.0 and it gets the following error. Any idea why it isn’t looking for the version in the package.json file? thanks!
“Error: Failed to find Electron v1.8.0 for linux-armv6l at https://github.com/electron/electron/releases/download/v1.8.0/chromedriver-v1.8.0-linux-armv6l.zip”
-
Solve it like this: “npm install --arch=armv7l”
-
-
@qu1que
Yes, I just update installation command by --arch argument, and MM installs w/o errors. -
@InfiProj is there a command u could use to tell this is a zero, So I could update the installer?
Thanks
-
@sdetweil
In Linux we can ask OS about architecture. “arch” - this command returns CPU architecture. For rpi zero - armv6l, for rpi 3b - armv7l. Maybe that helps you. -
@InfiProj it does. Thx
Not near computer, maybe uname provides info too
-
@sdetweil
“uname -m” - does the same as “arch”,
“uname -p” and “uname -i” says unknown. -
Thanks for the PDF guide/instructions, after a week of tinkering and googling this was the only method I got to work with my Zero (Wish I started with this guide!)
-
@InfiProj thanks… I’ve updated my new test installer to use that info
https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/10171/anyone-want-to-try-updated-installer?page=1
my intent is to submit this new installer to replace the project version…

I just attempted to install 2.11.0 on a Pi0 W, I got the following error running

@nigel-daniels i do not know… please use the scripted install from here
https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts
look at the instructions
also, rename MagicMirror folder out of the way… or erase it… install thinks it is doing for the 1st time.

@sdetweil hi, I have everything else set up and don’t really want to change thing, I had configured the PiZero some time ago. I was just reinstalling MM2. I decided I had left it so long since the last up date I just backed up my modules + config and have performed a reinstall. As far as I can tell the script is attempting a full config of the pi0?
