              @sdetweil So I renamed the old magicmirror folder and updated. Now the updates stripped modules and config.js. They are not in the new magicmirror folder at all…what gives?

                @swvalenti this is not an update, it is a NEW install…

                so you have to copy from the old mm folder to the new…

                if u wanted to UPDATE then u should run the UPDATE script

                  @sdetweil Well I am an idiot, so I can just delete the new MagicMirror folder and then run the update in the other?

                        Huh. I just tried it on a fresh Buster install on a RPI 3B+ and PM2 failed to install correctly. It seems to be a permissions issue.

                            It’s not terribly illuminating.

                            install and setup pm2
                            pm2 not installed, installing
                            pm2 install result
                            get the pm2 platform specific startup command
                            startup command =
                            pm2 startup command done
                            configure the pm2 config file for MagicMirror
                            start MagicMirror via pm2 now
                            save MagicMirror pm2 config now
                            disable screensaver via lxsession

                                @sdetweil I already went through the installation procedure to get pm2 installed. That required the npm command to install pm2.

                                After the initial script run, pm2 start MagicMirror returned a “bash: pm2: command not found” error. Once I got pm2 installed, getting the script monitored by pm2 was easy enough. At a guess, it’s a problem with using sudo to install pm2, but I’m afraid I don’t have the exact error message.

                                    @sdetweil - I pulled this from the official GitHub page: sudo npm install -g pm2. Once I ran that, I just changed to the ~/MagicMirrors/installers folder and told pm2 to run/maintain it: pm2 start mm.sh

                                      @bhepler weird… that is that the script does between the two log entries

                                      	echo pm2 not installed, installing >>$logfile	
                                      	result=$(npm install $up -g pm2)
                                      	echo pm2 install result $result >>$logfile
                                      

                                      $up is for the mac

                                      bet it needed sudo…

                                        I also added to catch the stderr output to the log too

                                        	echo pm2 not installed, installing >>$logfile	
                                        	result=$(sudo npm install $up -g pm2 2>&1)
                                        	echo pm2 install result $result >>$logfile

                                          @bhepler could you retest the installer? just rename your current MagicMirror folder out of the way… thanks
