    Thanks for replying so quickly sdetweil. Where does this leave me in the installation process when it is done?

      @stampeder with a running MM, with pm2 to start on boot (if u select that during the install process)
      and screen saver turned off (if u select it)…

      i suggest u start with raspian buster, not jessie (too old)

      my repo is referenced from the MM doc site

      u will need to remove any existing MM folder before starting

      if u choose not to do the optional things, there are scripts on the same site to enable them later

        I currently have stretch lite loaded on my SD card. The install script worked just fine and the pm2 start MagicMirror shows MagicMirror status online. However, there doesn’t seem to be a browser page come up. I still seem to be in CLI mode. Should I start it all over from scratch with Buster?

          @stampeder pi 0w should have the chromium browser started to show the page…

          u have lite installed, which probably doesn’t have chromium… so I would install that and then restart MM using pm2

          sudo apt-get install chromium-browser

              Thanks Sam.
              I’m just finishing installing chromium. Let me see if it works. My version of Stretch is NOT the desktop version. I have a version of Buster however that is the desktop version. If this still fails after the chromium install, I’ll redo it with the Buster sdcard.
              Will your install script also work with Midori browser?

                @stampeder it MUST be desktop version… else u will run in serveronly mode and can access from another system

                electron or chrome needs the graphical desktop environment to work

                  @stampeder the install script is bash… running is a different problem…

                  u will have to change the run-start.sh script to launch that browser

                    Sam. It finished and when I restarted PM2 the browser did not come up.
                    I’ll remove the stretch sd card and start over with the Buster desktop sd card. Then it should work.
                    This will take a while.
                    Thanks for all your help.
                    Glenn.

                      Sam. It took quite a while to get my usb stick programmed, updated and configured but my MagicMirror is up and running thanks to you. Excellent work on the script!!
                      Now it is off to customize it. What fun…
