Installing on a Pi Zero

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?

@nigel-daniels no, just mm

@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.

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

@sdetweil

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

RushHour99 · Apr 15, 2020, 11:59 PM

@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?

sdetweil · Apr 16, 2020, 12:27 AM

@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.

sdetweil · Apr 16, 2020, 1:59 AM

@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
https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/issues/5
to track it
