    Hi

    I followed the pdf instructions step by step but does not seem to work for me.

    I started with clean install of raspbian on my Pi Z W. Followed, your instructions step by step. no errors apart from the same ones in your pdf (errors while installing dependencies). After some time the installation was complete. It asked if I want to restart, I did. Once booted back up nothing loaded even after half an hour. I navigated to localhost:8080 with no success. I also tried run serveronly/ and this didn’t help.

    I’m not sure what I am doing wrong as it seems most people are getting it working very easily.

    Any help would be great! Thanks

        @sdetweil My Magic Mirror install on a Pi Zero has been running great. I see an alert now that there is a Magic Mirror Update available. Do I just run your upgrade-script.sh to bring my Pi Zero install up to date with Magic Mirror v2.13.0?

            Thanks! Out of curiosity, why do I need to run it 2 times? I would have missed that detail if you didn’t’ let me know.

              @RushHour99 i don’t understand , then doc says

              Update to next MagicMirror version from an existing MagicMirror installation
              upgrade-script.sh will do the git pull and npm install, and refresh npm setup for any modules that might need it
              it should handle all the work…
              
              and give you a trial run of all that, only applying changes if u request them
              give it a try
              
              this works on Mac as well, cut/paste this line into the terminal window on your device
              
              bash -c  "$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/upgrade-script.sh)"
              ================no changes are made to the local repo or the working copy========================
              if you WANT to actually apply the changes, cut/paste this line into the terminal window on your device
              bash -c  "$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/upgrade-script.sh)" apply

                Thanks for the reply. I did read that but it just seemed a little confusing since it was the same bash command. I haven’t run the upgrade script yet, so it might be more clear when I do but i guess the script knows if it’s been run a 2nd time?

                    @sdetweil Thanks! It is much more clear now. My screen size truncated the “apply” parameter at the end of the line. Now that I scroll horizontally I see the “apply”. Thanks again for the feedback.

                      @RushHour99 as folks have invested a lot of time in setting up their systems, only to have an update crash everything,
                      I wanted to provide a ‘test’ 1st, so people might be more comfortable with what might be impacted…
                      and NOT make changes if they don’t want to continue…

                      all my work suffers from problems in the base that is being applied, like some new translation file comments for years old modules this time…
