<![CDATA[Unable to install dependencies]]>When I try to use

bash -c "$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/raspberry.sh)"

The install takes maybe 2 seconds but it says install is complete, however I did not include the first $. If I do include this, it says that it doesn’t understand it. The MagicMirror folder is no where on my raspberrypi. As a result I tried to use

$ sudo apt install python3 python3-pip -y && \
      git clone https://github.com/Bee-Mar/mmpm.git && \
      cd mmpm && \
      make && \
      echo "export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.local/bin" >> $HOME/.bashrc && \
      source ~/.bashrc

And afterwards do

mmpm -M

By using this method of installing it actually takes some time for MagicMirror to install, which seems a bit more reasonable. However, at the end of the installation it tells me that it is unable to install dependencies. It also says this is not a problem with npm, but rather that nodejs is out of date. It seems to actually be out of date because by doing

nodejs -v

It tells me that the version is v10.15.2 . So then I decided ill try to update nodejs by doing

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_13.x | sudo -E bash -

The result of this is

## Installing the NodeSource Node.js 13.x repo...

Error executing command, exiting

As a result I cannot update nodejs to the proper version. I have tried deleting the MagicMirror folder and redoing all of this with no success and the same results. I don’t know if this is would be a contributing factor but I have been doing this through VNC. I don’t have my own USB keyboard so I borrowed a friends to setup VNC and now I just control everything through my laptop.

I was finally able to install it correctly using your script. For some reason using

raspi-config

was not changing the date and time so I had to do it manually. Thank you so much for your help! I didn’t think the date and time being off by 9 days would have been an issue. I hope my friends and I will be able to accomplish want we want to do with this, but that may have to be a surprise for later. Thanks once again.

Okay I’ll look into it tonight, just have some things to take care of first. I thought it may have been related to the time, but when I tried to change the time it wasn’t letting me. I even rebooted multiple times. But I’ll try to get back to you tonight

My script is the same as before, and fails if npm install fails

My script shows the same error, see line 5 of the log. Looks like the system date is in the past

Tonight I may have time to delete the MagicMirror folder and use your script and show you what that says.

Will have to research

Not sure if this helps either, I just deleted the MagicMirror folder before trying again.

Before writing the image I reformatted the sd to FAT32. I read about other issues and some people say that their issues have been solved by using a different sd, could this be similar?
