    @sdetweil Yes, I set swap to 1024. It’s slow but it works.
    Thanks again!!

      @sdetweil , I went through a fresh SD card install for a Pi Zero W. raspbian and then the raspberry.sh script via your github page. I believe everything completed without error.

      However when Magic Mirror launches on reboot, I get a blank page indicating:

      This site can’t be reached
      localhost refused to connect

      Any idea what to do to troubleshoot?

          @sdetweil said in Installing on a Pi Zero:

          pm2 logs --lines=100

          This just the Magic Mirror base. I haven’t added any extra modules.

          Unfortunately I cannot paste the pm2 logs output. When I try it gets caught in some sort of spam filter and won’t let me post.

              @sdetweil Thanks, error log emailed. Ive done this process before without error ~9 months ago. Maybe the rasbian version or magic mirror version has changed recently that is now causing the problem.

                  @rushhour99 do this

                  sudo npm i -g npm@6
                  

                  this will downgrade npm to v6

                  then

                  cd ~/MagicMirror
                  rm -rf node_modules
                  rm package-lock.json
                  npm install --only=prod
                  

                  and check if the config.js file exists

                  ls ~/MagicMirror/config/config,js -laF

                    I got an error. Thanks for helping out, this is a new build so I don’t mind if it gets messed up and I need to start over.
