updated installer script available for testing

sdetweil

@NathTheDude ok… let me know if there are any other issues…

sdetweil

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

I will close/lock this topic in a couple days

Should I install electron with --arch=armv7l ?

jorgnyg

@jorgnyg Yea guess so. Installation fails on rpi zero. So I deleted the electron folder from node_modules, and ran npm install --arch=armv7l electron@3.0.13

sdetweil

@jorgnyg doesn’t fail on my pi 0.

Can u send me the install.log

sdetweil

@sdetweil note that we made electron optional. There is no armv6l at node 10
So we will run in split mode use chromium

jorgnyg

@sdetweil sure thing. Guess this is the most relevant error

@jorgnyg the run-start.sh script now handles this problem and launches chromium instead of electron to connect to mm in serveronly mode

jorgnyg

@sdetweil got it!

Hi - firstly thanks for putting together this installer!

I am running Raspbian on RP3b+ as a fresh install using the command

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

Installer indicated successful install of MagicMirror.

Using SSH DISPLAY=:0 npm start gives the following error:

magicmirror@2.10.1 start /home/jojo/MagicMirror
./run-start.sh
