Installing on a Pi Zero
-

@qu1que
Yes, I just update installation command by --arch argument, and MM installs w/o errors. -
@InfiProj is there a command u could use to tell this is a zero, So I could update the installer?
Thanks
-
@sdetweil
In Linux we can ask OS about architecture. “arch” - this command returns CPU architecture. For rpi zero - armv6l, for rpi 3b - armv7l. Maybe that helps you. -
@InfiProj it does. Thx
Not near computer, maybe uname provides info too
-
@sdetweil
“uname -m” - does the same as “arch”,
“uname -p” and “uname -i” says unknown. -
Thanks for the PDF guide/instructions, after a week of tinkering and googling this was the only method I got to work with my Zero (Wish I started with this guide!)
-
@InfiProj thanks… I’ve updated my new test installer to use that info
https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/10171/anyone-want-to-try-updated-installer?page=1
my intent is to submit this new installer to replace the project version…

I just attempted to install 2.11.0 on a Pi0 W, I got the following error running

@nigel-daniels i do not know… please use the scripted install from here
https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts
look at the instructions
also, rename MagicMirror folder out of the way… or erase it… install thinks it is doing for the 1st time.
-
@sdetweil hi, I have everything else set up and don’t really want to change thing, I had configured the PiZero some time ago. I was just reinstalling MM2. I decided I had left it so long since the last up date I just backed up my modules + config and have performed a reinstall. As far as I can tell the script is attempting a full config of the pi0?
-
@nigel-daniels no, just mm
-
@sdetweil looks like the script gets to the same place :(

@nigel-daniels ok. We need to upgrade node or npm
Try
sudo npm I -g npm
Then npm install --only=prod
In the MagicMirror folder -
@sdetweil thanks for the support, that fixed it!
It looks like npm was broken. I removed node and npm then installed node v10.20.1 and things seem to be working again. Running
npm install --only=prodlet the install run without getting upset about electron! -
I ran your raspberry.sh install script on a Raspberry Pi Zero W yesterday. I started with a fresh install of Rasbian. The script completed with some warnings, but the Magic Mirror started and seems to be running OK. What does this error mean? Should I try to fix it even though MagicMirror seems to be running OK?

@RushHour99 that error is because some of the components used for the automated testing aren’t found. It’s ok.
I need to recheck. I thought I had disabled trying to load those parts.
All looks good
-
@sdetweil Thanks for the reply. Magic Mirror does appear to be working just fine on my Pi Zero W. I only ran the install script. Should I run the upgrade script too?
-
@RushHour99 no. Upgrade is for every 3 months when the next release comes out. the scripts are only for MagicMirror… not the base OS, or any modules.
-
@RushHour99 looks like something changed between April 11 and April 15 in the npm tree, as it skipped the electron-chromdriver on the 11th and tries to install it today. is IS because of the specton library that is in the DEV tree, which i request to be skipped with --only=prod
so much fun…
I opened an issue against the scripts
