Installing on a Pi Zero
-
@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?
The errored log file was located at /home/pi/.npm/_logs/2020-04-14T22_35_02_257Z-debug.log

@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.
