updated installer script available for testing

[sdetweil]

@swvalenti cool… maybe I should dump out the ps -ef list if I find that problem…

[swvalenti]

@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?

[sdetweil]

@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?

[sdetweil]

@swvalenti yes… UPDATE just gets you the new MagicMirror version. currently 2.9.0

Thanks Sam

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.

@bhepler show me the log please

~/install.log

[bhepler]

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

@bhepler hang on, I’ll be back home in a few minutes.

Can u do

pm2 startup
