installing mm

[sdetweil]

@geo are you running MagicMirrorOS? and not the raw MagicMirror app on raspian?

you did NOT use sudo when u ran the install, correct?

[geo]

hi i loaded the mm from your script

[sdetweil]

@geo so, it still makes no sense

you open a terminal window, ctrl-alt-t, and the install.log should be right there

u have to edit it,
nano install.log
or type it
cat install.log

@geo said in installing mm:

i am at a loss as to what to do next other than to sell everything.

It may take a little time and a few attempts but follow @sdetweil’s directions and he will help you get it running.

@geo can u please try with buster, stretch is too old

[geo]

@Mykle1 hi again, yes i realise that its more to do with my frustration and lack of understanding.

[sdetweil]

@geo we’ve all been there, patience.

[geo]

debian stretch v 9.11.tried to install buster several times and failed.messages unmet depedencies,and try,apt – fixbroken install
hope this makes sense

[sdetweil]

@geo I understand the words, but don’t understand why you have this problem. I tested 2.12 on buster a couple weeks ago, again.
