updated installer script available for testing
-
@swvalenti cool… maybe I should dump out the ps -ef list if I find that problem…
-
@sdetweil So I renamed the old magicmirror folder and updated. Now the updates stripped modules and config.js. They are not in the new magicmirror folder at all…what gives?
-
@swvalenti this is not an update, it is a NEW install…
so you have to copy from the old mm folder to the new…
if u wanted to UPDATE then u should run the UPDATE script

-
@sdetweil Well I am an idiot, so I can just delete the new MagicMirror folder and then run the update in the other?
-
@swvalenti yes… UPDATE just gets you the new MagicMirror version. currently 2.9.0
-
Thanks Sam
-
Huh. I just tried it on a fresh Buster install on a RPI 3B+ and PM2 failed to install correctly. It seems to be a permissions issue.
-
@bhepler show me the log please
~/install.log
-
It’s not terribly illuminating.
install and setup pm2 pm2 not installed, installing pm2 install result get the pm2 platform specific startup command startup command = pm2 startup command done configure the pm2 config file for MagicMirror start MagicMirror via pm2 now save MagicMirror pm2 config now disable screensaver via lxsession -
-
@sdetweil I already went through the installation procedure to get pm2 installed. That required the npm command to install pm2.
After the initial script run,
pm2 start MagicMirrorreturned a “bash: pm2: command not found” error. Once I got pm2 installed, getting the script monitored by pm2 was easy enough. At a guess, it’s a problem with using sudo to install pm2, but I’m afraid I don’t have the exact error message. -
@bhepler what did u have to do for the pm2 install?
-
@sdetweil - I pulled this from the official GitHub page:
sudo npm install -g pm2. Once I ran that, I just changed to the~/MagicMirrors/installersfolder and told pm2 to run/maintain it:pm2 start mm.sh -
@bhepler weird… that is that the script does between the two log entries
echo pm2 not installed, installing >>$logfile result=$(npm install $up -g pm2) echo pm2 install result $result >>$logfile$up is for the mac
bet it needed sudo…
-
I also added to catch the stderr output to the log too
echo pm2 not installed, installing >>$logfile result=$(sudo npm install $up -g pm2 2>&1) echo pm2 install result $result >>$logfile -
@bhepler could you retest the installer? just rename your current MagicMirror folder out of the way… thanks
course u have pm2 already … never mind
-
@sdetweil - No worries. I have a spare Pi and a SD card I can use. I’ll get it cranked out tonight. I’ll get you that info.
-
@bhepler thanks… i got some new sd cards today, so I will test too.
-
@sdetweil - Brand new Buster installation on a RPi 3B+. Installation script worked as expected.
I had trouble with pm2 on my existing mirror too. I ended up upgrading to the latest pm2 in order to get it to remember to start on boot.
At this point, I think your script is handling it properly. Thanks for the quick replies!
-
@bhepler oh, there is a script for just pm2 as well.
Thx for feedback.
