      Every time I update, it seems to break something. This is getting frustrating, because I can’t diagnose the problem. This time, it shows MM is running in PM2, but all I see is my Pi desktop. I don’t even know where to begin to fix the issue, because it seems like everything should be working.

            Was the update intended to work with Raspbian updates, too? Could the MagicMirror update have a breaking change if Raspbian hasn’t been updated?

              @uatuba I had trouble also.
              As mentiones by Stedweil I used script from first threat in link text

              Make sure to stop MM before running update

                @bdream said in Update troubles. Again.:

                link text

                This seems like a great feature that would prevent a lot of issues. I don’t think it will help me in my current predicament, though, since I already updated according to the readme.

                  The v2.20.0 announcement said
                  https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/11899/v2-10-0

                  Please update using the following command: git pull && npm install.
                  

                  Note that one has to be in the MagicMirror directory before issuing these commands (cd ~/MagicMirror).

                  The README.md shows 2 commands, see:
                  https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/blob/master/README.md#updating

                  Not a sign of just an single git pull anywhere.

                  Anyway, I would suggest you to try the commands from the first post in this topic:
                  https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/10859/new-update-upgrade-script-ready-for-testing?page=1
                  The only note would be that it is advised to stop MM (e.g. using pm2 stop mm).

                  Success.

                  MagicMirror version: 2.30.0
                  Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Rev 1.5 (8 GB RAM)
                  Raspbian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)

                  Test environment:
                  MagicMirror version: v2.30.0
                  Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Plus Rev 1.3 (1 GB RAM)

                    @evroom my apologies…I DID use both. After rebooting again, I now get “line 66: electron not found.”

                      @uatuba the update posting says

                      git pull & npm install
                      

                      did you do the npm install part? in the MagicMirror folder?

                      the new distribution needs dependencies (libraries) newer than previously installed.
                      so you have to redo npm install to update them

                      if u ran the script from the new updater topic, please post the contents of

                      MagicMirror/installers/upgrade.log

                        No need to apologize, but you were asked to supply the exact steps taken.
                        A git pull followed by npm install in the MM homedir will most likely solve your electron error message.
                        If not, the upgrade script from Sam will solve it or at least will provide with some info to check for.
