Installing on a Pi Zero

@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 npm install:

npm install

Any idea where resolve should be set and what is missing?

sdetweil · Apr 12, 2020, 9:38 PM

@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.

nigel-daniels · Apr 12, 2020, 11:33 PM

@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?

sdetweil · Apr 13, 2020, 3:22 PM

@nigel-daniels no, just mm

nigel-daniels · Apr 13, 2020, 3:22 PM

@sdetweil looks like the script gets to the same place :(

The config.json only mentions electron in the optional dependancies so I don’t know where the resolve comes from. It looks to the the property of some var that is not being set.

sdetweil · Apr 13, 2020, 4:03 PM

@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

nigel-daniels · Apr 13, 2020, 6:07 PM

@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=prod let the install run without getting upset about electron!
