@wagon40 I will have to look. It will be a couple hours. Have grandson now

Tried to npm start and it states that i dont have a config.js. went to the desktop and i can navigate to the magicmirror file and open the config sample. not sure why it isnt loading? did a reboot and it is not starting MM.

@wagon40 because the install didn’t finish… copy config.js.sample to config.js

can u show me the ~/install.log?

other things might fail too… as it didn’t complete the install steps…

i am trying again right now on my pi 0, but on jessie (as thats the OS level I have installed there at the moment)

wagon40

nothing for install.log. tried a few different ways. I was able to make a copy but just a black screen on npm start up. not sure what to do.

wagon40

I ran this command and got that

npm run config:check

npm ERR! code ENOENT
npm ERR! syscall open
npm ERR! path /home/pi/package.json
npm ERR! errno -2
npm ERR! enoent ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/home/pi/package.json'
npm ERR! enoent This is related to npm not being able to find a file.
npm ERR! enoent

@wagon40 did u run my script? it creates a log file…

npm run config:check

gotta be IN the MagicMirror folder

to get the base config

cd ~/MagicMirror/config
cp config.js.sample config.js

but the system is a mess right now… hang on I am testing a fixed installer…

wagon40

I appreciate your help and putting up with a noob

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror/config $ npm run config:check

> magicmirror@2.10.1 config:check /home/pi/MagicMirror
> node tests/configs/check_config.js

Checking file...  /home/pi/MagicMirror/config/config.js
Your configuration file doesn't contain syntax errors :)

sdetweil

erase the current MagicMirror folder (rm -rf MagicMirror )

and run the install script again , they changed some upstream library to hard fail…
but we didn’t need it anyhow…
