updated installer script available for testing

BD0G

Thanks ! Thats the process I have been using . Painstaking. Small details always cause errors. Even if I cut and paste right from the github repository using the authors code.

@BD0G yeh, sometimes/many times they don’t check their doc …

not THAT painstaking

thing on the left of the colon doesn’t need quotes, only words on the right

if something follows something else, the something else better have a trailing comma

I may have found a better way to do the node/npm setup… testing now

it allows node 10 on jesse…

thanks for the trouble report so I could think about the problem

Just got Complete Walkthrough - Install MagicMirror on a PC - Windows 7/10 run under Windows 7.

This version of MM is version 2.6.0. I planned to run updatescript from @sdetweil but failed. Have you any idea?

@bdream

I planned to run updatescript from @sdetweil but failed.

what does ‘planned’ mean?
if you DID run my upgrade-script,
can u show me the ~/MagicMirror/installers/upgrade.log

thanks

@sdetweil umpf, yes I started the script but it doesn’t work. So it was a plan not a run :rolling_on_the_floor_laughing:

this appears not to be a Raspberry Pi 2 or 3, do you want to continue installation (y/N)?y
Updating packages ...

Seems there is an failure with sudo on my windows machine.

Do I need to run as admin for update GIT Bash as admin?

sdetweil

@bdream i don’t think it will run in the CYGWIN or MINW environments

you will have to do the manual install

see the instructions here https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror#manual-installation

this also requires sudo, to install nodejs
if you succeed, let me know what you did (step by step) and I will consider updating the installer

bdream

@sdetweil looks like a new workingplace :dizzy_face:
I will hang it on for the next time and mark your comment for further usage.
1st try to follow the manual installation instruction failed and need more investigatin and understanding on my side

@bdream CYGWIN and MINW don’t allow sudo operations, as they don’t control the machine directly
