    Read the statement by Michael Teeuw here.

    After 2.8 I'm having tons of issues. What are the steps from square 1 to get this working?

            @sdetweil I was able to start up he mirror by doing

            cd ~ /MagicMirror
npm start

            The mirror started up like usual but it didn’t restart after I exited out of it.

                  Is it possibly the version of raspbian that is messing this up because it use to work before they released the latest version of raspbian and before MM 2.8 as well.

                    @Gomalley pm2 needs to be reinstalled, cause the npm version changed.

                    lets try my new pm2 fixup script…

                    bash -c "$(curl -sL  https://www.dropbox.com/s/cy2z7lbkpifcbrk/fixuppm2.sh?dl=0)"

                      Thank you! The mirror now autostarts!
                      So all this time I was doing it on a Lexar micro sd card. It actually froze on the startup page so I threw in a 16gb Ultra sandisk amd started the process all over.
                      Heres the steps that I followed:

                      pm2 logs

                      npm i -g npm

                      cd ~
sudo chown -R pi .

                      pm2 logs

                      npm i -g npm

                      sudo npm i -g npm

                      cd ~/MagicMirror
npm install

                      pm2 list

                      bash -c "$(curl -sL  https://www.dropbox.com/s/cy2z7lbkpifcbrk/fixuppm2.sh?dl=0)"

                      Thank you again for your help!

                        @Gomalley glad that it’s working.
                        My new installer might have avoided all the rework after git clone
