    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!

                  @sdetweil, I have made more time again. Thank you again for helping. But your last comment has me slightly confused. Here is what i “think”…

                  By changing the folder name as you suggested earlier, I sorta uninstalled it. At least made any script you directed me to, to not recognize it as already being there and therefore allowing the script to run as intended and install and check system as it normally would. But your last statement makes me think otherwise now. My confusion is why change a parameter? I really want to use your script as it is intended to do, install, check, etc as it is intended. I don’t want this to be any more difficult than it needs to be or for you to make special arrangements either as I am sure you have better things to do and you are opening yourself up for who knows what special requests in the future, lol.

                  Next, I am confused when reading the full return code that I posted above…It says…

                  echo -e "\e[91mSorry, your Raspberry Pi is not supported."
                  		echo -e "\e[91mPlease run MagicMirror on a Raspberry Pi 2 or 3."
                  

                  I have a Rasberry Pi 4. There are other things it states as issues but those are almost irrelevant until the script can perform as normal with the install. I have even gone as far as to try and find magicmirror in the “add/remove” software but after browsing and trying specific searches for it, I have come up empty. More confusion upon confusion.

                  I am at a loss as to what to do next outside of wiping this micro sdcard and starting over without the manual install…Please help! thank you!

                    @bumrocks >Here is the full code as it is returned to me…

                    u are not supposed to SEE the code of the script… u just execute it

                    bash -c "… " means execute whatever is downloaded…

                    you just copy/paste that one line from my github repo and its all done

                    bash -c "$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/raspberry.sh)"
                    

                    technically, the project (MagicMirror) says that it is ONLY supported on armv7l devices (pi 3 and 4).
                    my script allows you to install anyhow (if u want to try it anyhow)…
                    (I haven’t found anything it won’t run on, so its safe bet)
                    i didn’t update the message , but will correct it…
                    | edit: I have pushed the change for the run on 2/3/4 and supported on 2/3/4)

                      @bumrocks the instructions on my repo say

                      to execute the install script, cut/paste this line into the terminal window on your device (I can't say PI, cause it works in a lot of other places too)
