Installing on a Pi Zero
-
@RushHour99 its NOT the same, there is an extra parameter at the end… apply
-
@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…

@sdetweil said in Installing on a Pi Zero:
@akz_g use my script. the old instructions don’t work anymore
Thanks for this @sdetweil I will try with a fresh image. Do I just run master/raspberry.sh… ?
Going to try it tonight! many thanks
-
@akz_g no… the script is not in the base anymore … run it directly from here
https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts
it does everything, prep the system, download the code, install the dependencies, add support for pi 0,
add support for starting at boot, turn off screen saver -
@sdetweil Thanks again! will let you know how I get on :)
-
@akz_g first message I got was
this appears not to be a Raspberry Pi 2, 3 or 4, do you want to continue installation (y/N)?should I continue? don’t want to waste another hour if i’m doing it wrong.
-
@akz_g no, keep going
-
@sdetweil Thanks so much! got it working and it was a very easy install in the end. My next step is to have a look at the config.js file and tailor it to UK etc… I guess this is the place I can add new modules also?
-
@akz_g yes, see the links in my signature for learning
