Installing MagicMirror² on your Raspberry Pi Zero W

A Former User

Hi All,

I have made a install script to install the latest MagicMirror² on your Raspberry Pi Zero W with the latest release of Raspbian (This is tested on Raspbian Buster with desktop | Version: September 2019 | Release date: 2019-09-26 | Kernel version: 4.19).

I would invite you all to try my installation script. you can find it on my GitHub here: https://github.com/AchimPieters/MagicZeroMirror

Installation is done by one line:
bash -c “$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AchimPieters/MagicZeroMirror/master/MMZeroInstallScript.sh)”

Now everything should be installed automatically! I have tries it now several time, and every time with 100% success.
Let me know what you think of it!

Best regards.

@AchimPieters cool… how is this different than the updated install script we have created
which also supports the release last week (2.10.0)

@sdetweil Thank you for your reply! The way it’s different that it works for me. I searched the internet for installation on a raspberry Pi zero W. There are a few different approaches but they didn’t work for me ( e.g only could be uses with a older version of the MagicMirror project or an older version of Raspbian).

If you want to test it you are welcome!

hi @AchimPieters, I know this is quite an old thread but I tried your install. It seems to boot up the magic mirror logo etc. then will just load back to desktop. I used the same desktop version and Kernel as you. New to this so any help appreciated.

Thanks!

@eyebee did u reply yes to use pm2 for auto start?

and if you did, do

pm2 start 0

does mm start?

if u did not, then run the fixuppm2 script from here
