I can say as of November 6 2020 the script works for installing the MagicMirror and auto starts on raspberry pi 0w. But… I do have some questions. How do I go about stopping the mirror so I can install modules? I’m a complete newb at this

@camcooper151515 minimize
alt-spacebar, n
then alt-ctrl-t to open a terminal window, them the pm2 command

pm2 stop 0, or MagicMirror

@sdetweil thanks I’ll try when I get home in the morning. Thanks so much for a working install I was at my wits end trying to get this to work until I found this thread. May I ask one more thing of you? Is there a command sequence I follow to stop the blanking of the screen after a few minutes for you install?

[sdetweil]

@camcooper151515 it should have asked if you wanted to disable screensaver.

anyhow, on the same site as the install script there is a command to turn it off now, down near the bottom of the page

@sdetweil thanks that worked again. Is there a reason that my weather is not showing by default? Does it have to be setup first before it shows?

[sdetweil]

@camcooper151515 yes, some setup. needs to.know where u are for sure. some providers need u to register to request data

@sdetweil this thing is working great man I’ve been tinkering around with it over the weekend. Thanks so much again for the install but another question I know I know I apologize but your like king right now. How can I access the custom.css file?

[sdetweil]
