updated installer script available for testing
-
I am having a heck of a time. I cannot use the local browser to visit my drop box site any longer as it directs me to localhost_/ and there is no web address bar to type the dropbox website into.
-
@BD0G chrome is being used for the mirror display, as electron no longer works with the later levels of node.
I wouldn’t have expected another use to carry over the settings from the mirror task…
pm2 stop 0then use chrome
them
pm2 start 0 -
Finally got it to work and upload to my dropbox. Stopping Magic Mirror worked and allowed the Chromium browser to access the drop box webpage, but using my standard credentials (which were correct) just timed out on the logon page. I tried this like 20 times. No dice. Finally logged into dropbox using my google account instead and that allowed me to access a dropbox account that I setup using google credentials.
Ridiculous!Here is the link to the install.log
https://www.dropbox.com/s/425lhitp7tcftih/install.log?dl=0Now on to the fun of making just simple syntax errors in the config.js file when configuring modules only to have Magic Mirror 2 complain that there is no config.js or an error. This process is 100 percent suck!
-
@BD0G cool, thanks…
as for config
each module is
{ module: "name", position: "string", config : { something: "string", other_thing: number, another: true } }not that each line has a trailing comma
number/booleans don’t need quotes,
everything else doessingle or double doesn’t matter, just have to match on a line
if troubles
donpm run config:checkfirst 1st error, (usually reported on the line AFTER the error )
rerun, etc -
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
-
@sdetweil I entered this to LXTerminal. Whats the next step i need to do?
-
@magicmirrorpi4 u cut/paste the bash-------- )" string into the terminal and hit enter

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

@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:

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

@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 -
@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 sidebdream@win7 MINGW64 ~ (master) $ curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_10.x | sudo -E bash - bash: sudo: command not found -
@bdream CYGWIN and MINW don’t allow sudo operations, as they don’t control the machine directly
-
@sdetweil yeah, that is I don’t know what and how to do. And it sounds like a big lack of knowledge on my side…
-
@bdream try, this, may not work
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_10.x | bash - -
@sdetweil it don’t work
$ curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_10.x | bash - ## Installing the NodeSource Node.js 10.x repo... ## Populating apt-get cache... + apt-get update bash: apt-get: command not found Error executing command, exiting -
@bdream yeh, figured
if u have windows 10, you could install the ubuntu support, MM will install and run (in serveronly mode) there.
-
then I will start thinking update to Windows10, latest in case I get trouble with MM 2.6.0
-
@bdream 2.9 is current version.
