    @bumrocks as I said, nothing u can do… u can run audit fix, and u might get better, or might end with it not running…

    many of the ‘fixes’ require breaking changes…

      Thank you for such a quick response! Going by magicmirrors.builders installation guidelines I was scared out of using any scripts and opted to go the manual route as it was the only way that was technically supported, at least by Michael and his “team”…At this point are you recommending I wipe my current install and use the script you recommend? Does it include Node v10 and I therefore need to wipe it too?

        @bumrocks my scripts are listed as ‘alternative’ right below
        it also uses node 10, and would have installed for you … also fixes some odds and ends
        you can go ahead, or rename you magicmirror folder to some other name and run the script…
        it will also setup pm2 for restart after boot and disable screensaver (if u say yes at the respective prompts)

        Alternative Installation Methods
        The following installation methods are not maintained by the MagicMirror² core team. Use these scripts and methods at your own risk.

          Good looking out! And yes, I saw where you were listed as an alternate “authorized” way to install but let the “manual” message put the grip of fear on me, lol! I will do as you suggested and appreciate the help and tips!

            vulnerabilities aren’t to be worried about if the project isn’t going to peek out to the internet.

              @BKeyport
              Which makes perfect sense but I am unclear what exactly might be peeking out if it connects to Internet for calendar stuff (intend to connect Google Calendar), updates for weather, Youtube module, and Amazon Alexa (if module is available)…I assume that all of these are in some way peeking and that most Magic Mirrors do in various ways. But, I am just a noob and can not say with any certainty. At the least, it is a daunting statement using the word “vulnerabilities”.

              Let me also add, it is quite confusing that the developer and his team recommend doing the manual install but leave out such specifics and how to handle them when they arise. I am not the first or last person to make this attempt with a Rasberry Pi 4 and with me following the directions given within the terminal I still end up with…

              fixed 15 of 20 vulnerabilities in 1052 scanned packages
                3 vulnerabilities required manual review and could not be updated
                2 package updates for 2 vulnerabilities involved breaking changes
                (use `npm audit fix --force` to install breaking changes; or refer to `npm audit` for steps to fix these manually)
              
              

              Which absolutely leaves a noob such as I in a state of confusion as to what to do. Continuing on and leaving that by the wayside I get to the configuration of the config file and low and behold things that the instructions say I can alter or change are not available at all…zoom, electronOptions, & customCss are nonexistent from my config file. I see great care to help absolute beginners in various ways but some of the most basic instructions are either wrong or completely missing. I am thankful, do not get me wrong, for this site, this app, the developers, the input, etc. Figuring out stuff on my own will help me retain the knowledge and only better me in the future but I can’t help but feel bad for those that are less computer savvy as an absolute beginner. Sorry for my slight rant! Not sure why I started on it but my intention is not to be a negative dick. I have spent way more hours and $ on this project that I originally planned or anticipated as I assumed wrongfully that this would be easy. Nobody’s fault but my own.

                @bumrocks they CAN be altered, but are not there by default… yes, you have to discover them , if u have the need

                as for the issues and vulnerabilities, they are not in the MM code, but code it uses and that those use… where the MM owners have little to no control (or exposure to the problem)

                but many of the issues you present are why I built up the installer and updater scripts, to get you up and running, regardless of your platform choice

                this remains a volunteer project, where, if u are interested you can contribute. It is NOT a ‘product’

                  @bumrocks In this case, if it’s not serving anything to the public, it’s generally fine. Grabbing things off the internet is usually fine… so, as long as you’re just grabbing things from the net, and it’s webports are not outside, you’re golden.

                    @sdetweil Thank you for your response again. In my frustration I took a few days off and am now trying back at it…As far it not being a product and contributing, I understand very well and in what may be a feeble attempt did make remarks and suggestions for changes in a branch? off of the directions to include and/or remove certain information. On the Internet people can say or claim what they want whether truth or not but my intention is to not simply take what I can. I intend to contribute however I might, even if it is just monetarily. Unfortunately, I have not gotten very far and am still trying to figure out why.

                    In trying to simplify my life, I did as you suggested, changed the MagicMirror directory name and then tried an install from your script. After running the primary command

                    curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/raspberry.sh
                    

                    I end up with a bunch of return code that ends with this (let me know if you need the full code it gives back)…

                    t -dpms
                    			else
                    			  echo "lxsession screen saver already disabled" >> $logfile
                    			fi
                    		fi
                    	fi
                    fi
                    echo " "
                    if [ $pm2setup -eq $true ]; then
                    	rmessage="pm2 start MagicMirror"
                    else
                      rmessage="DISPLAY=:0 npm start"
                    fi
                    echo -e "\e[92mWe're ready! Run \e[1m\e[97m$rmessage\e[0m\e[92m from the ~/MagicMirror directory to start your MagicMirror.\e[0m" | tee -a $logfile
                    
                    echo " "
                    echo " "
                    
                    date +"install completed - %a %b %e %H:%M:%S %Z %Y" >>$logfile
                    pi@MagicMirror2:~ $ 
                    
                    

                    It takes a matter of seconds to return all this and therefore is evident that nothing actually was installed. To confirm I have no new MagicMirror folder in my system, at least that I can find. Not within the /home/pi folder nor further back within the root directory. So I am at a loss as to what I now need to do. I tried running some other command but it also told me that Magic Mirror was not installed…

                    echo
                    			 echo or git stash pop to restore them all
                    			 echo
                    			 echo WARNING..
                    			 echo WARNING.. either will overlay the file just installed by the update
                    			 echo WARNING..
                    			 if [ $set_username == $true ]; then
                    			    git config --global --unset user.name >>/$logfile
                    					git config --global --unset user.email >>/$logfile
                    			 fi 
                    		 fi
                    	fi
                    	# return to original folder
                    	cd - >/dev/null
                    	date +"Upgrade ended - %a %b %e %H:%M:%S %Z %Y" >>$logfile
                    else
                    	echo It appears MagicMirror has not been installed on this system
                    	echo please run the installer, "raspberry.sh" first
                    fi
                    
                    

                    Thank you for your time and assistance in the matter. I have no issue starting from scratch if needed. Please advise :exploding_head:

                    @BKeyport Understood…Makes sense and thank you! I feel a bit better now!
