updated installer script available for testing

sdetweil

I have updated the installer script…

correct node/npm version checks failing
check and install npm < — this is the big one
fix pm2 setup for current userid
(on my system it isn’t pi)

curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/raspberry.sh | bash

let me know

@sdetweil this installer script is now the script in 2.10…

I will close/lock this topic in a couple days

@sdetweil

The next installation I do, I will. Not that it helps you now. :-/

sdetweil

@Mykle1 no problem… install hasn’t been fixed for a while, and more and more new users are having trouble due to the npm issue… time to try and fix that… and my system isn’t a pi… but an odroid , with a new sbc system coming… (Nvidia Jetson Nano) so I want to be ready…

@sdetweil

I tip my hat to you for taking the initiative. I could, if you wanted, take a laptop with ubuntu on it and test it for you now. It’s not a big deal. Just say the word. :thumbsup:

Mykle1

I’m just gonna do it. I’ll report back in a bit.

EDIT MINUTES LATER:

It appears I jumped the gun here. This was intended for Pi users only? Sorry bro. The only Pi I have is running my first mirror and I wouldn’t touch that.

pop@CQ57:~$ bash -c “$(curl -sL https://www.dropbox.com/s/izj6dz2z9557oga/raspberry.sh?dl=0)”
bash: “#!/usr/bin/env: No such file or directory
pop@CQ57:~$

sdetweil

@Mykle1 try now… I commented out the PI test

Mykle1

@sdetweil

Will do. Gonna do that now. I will report back.

EDIT:

I used the same url and got the same error as noted above. Perhaps I am doing something wrong?

sdetweil

@Mykle1 redo the cut/paste… the original had the funky double quotes in it…

Mykle1

@sdetweil

Just to be clear. I ran the original command twice. No luck.

I copy and pasted it a third time when you said you have commented out things. No luck same error.

Then I copied the script itself into a file and renamed it raspberry.sh and made it executable by chmod u+x raspberry.sh and saved that to home and ran the install script again. No luck. Same error.

I’m sorry I’m not being much help

sdetweil

@Mykle1 ok, again… that was the 1st line… why that way, not sure… try again

but I know why it was done, altho I don’t think that is needed…

Mykle1

@sdetweil

Ok, its running now. I failed to fix the bad quotes so that may have been the problem with my first 3 attempts. I will report when it completes

Mykle1

We're ready! Run DISPLAY=:0 npm start from the ~/MagicMirror directory to start your MagicMirror.
pop@CQ57:~$

Mirror started automatically. No need to run a command. No need to create a config. Nice work Sam

@sdetweil said in Anyone want to try updated installer...:

bash -c “$(curl -sL https://www.dropbox.com/s/izj6dz2z9557oga/raspberry.sh?dl=0)”

Just in case anyone else wants to test this, don’t use the example in the original post. Try this instead:

bash -c "$(curl -sL https://www.dropbox.com/s/izj6dz2z9557oga/raspberry.sh?dl=0)"

sdetweil

@Mykle1 but I fixed the original post

ah, i see, needs to be in the backtics to preserve the quotes…
fixed AGAIN!

sdetweil

the new installer referenced here is now part of the base at 2.8.0, released July 1, 2019

@sdetweil

You’re awesome! :thumbsup:

sdetweil

@Mykle1 not my point, or interest.

Don’t follow links in this topic anymore.
