    @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.

    The "E" in "Javascript" stands for "Easy"

      @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!

          @bumrocks yes, the script is hard coded to MagicMirror

            @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)

                  @sdetweil , I am aware of your instructions. I promise I read them. I have not tried to guess or shortcut your help. If you go back to the 11th post here…

                  https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/12964/need-help-absolute-beginner-code-posted/11

                  …you can see where I stated what I did and what problems I ran into. Maybe those issues had something to do with something else I had done…Now that I have turned off and booted the Pi again things are different. I will try the script again here in a minute and report back if it went as it is supposed to…

                    If you go back to the 11th post here…

                    yes, u are looking at the code for some reason, if you cut/paste the entire line, you will not see the installer code, but the results of it executing…

                    don’t retype it…

                      @sdetweil , oh crap…I was not typing anything. I was copying and pasting but being my noobness in terminal is shining through I was only copying and pasting from within the quotes. I think before that I had copied…

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

                      …without the “bash” and therefore got an error code…I then guessed that I should try the code within the quotes facepalm My bad!

                      I will come back and let you know if I have outsmarted myself again or succeded in progressing, lol!
