updated installer script available for testing

sdetweil

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

Mykle1

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

@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…

@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

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!
