          Give Sam’s installer a try. If I recall on Buster I had to apt-get uninstall nodejs and npm, then let the MagicMirror installer install the correct versions of those softwares.

            Hey, thanks for you answers !

            Sdetweil I tried your installer. When I reboot the Raspberry, magic mirror start but it’s coming back to the rasbian desktop few seconds later. I uploaded what happens on youtube : https://youtu.be/1dbtU3U5StM

            Buzzkc, what do you mean with “Sam’s installer” ? Sdetweil installer ?

              @thomaslc my name is Sam (i have that as my signature)

              i watched your video… very weird…

              open a terminal window , ctrl-alt-T, and then do
              pm2 status,
              pm2 logs
              u will have to ctrl-c to end that
              pm2 stop 0,
              pm2 start 0

              it LOOKS like pm2 starts WHILE still booting… I haven’t seen that on any of my systems…

                  @thomaslc during the install, it should have asked you if you wanted pm2 to be used to start the mirror app…

                    @thomaslc easiest thing to do is rename the MagicMirror folder to MagicMirror.save

                    in linux the rename command is mv

                    then run my installer again

                    see https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/10171/anyone-want-to-try-updated-installer
                    for the url to use
