Up to date install process.

I currently have stretch lite loaded on my SD card. The install script worked just fine and the pm2 start MagicMirror shows MagicMirror status online. However, there doesn’t seem to be a browser page come up. I still seem to be in CLI mode. Should I start it all over from scratch with Buster?
-
@stampeder pi 0w should have the chromium browser started to show the page…
u have lite installed, which probably doesn’t have chromium… so I would install that and then restart MM using pm2
sudo apt-get install chromium-browser
-
@stampeder the system is running the graphical desktop, right? it must
-
Thanks Sam.
I’m just finishing installing chromium. Let me see if it works. My version of Stretch is NOT the desktop version. I have a version of Buster however that is the desktop version. If this still fails after the chromium install, I’ll redo it with the Buster sdcard.
Will your install script also work with Midori browser?

@stampeder it MUST be desktop version… else u will run in serveronly mode and can access from another system
electron or chrome needs the graphical desktop environment to work
-
@stampeder the install script is bash… running is a different problem…
u will have to change the run-start.sh script to launch that browser
-
Sam. It finished and when I restarted PM2 the browser did not come up.
I’ll remove the stretch sd card and start over with the Buster desktop sd card. Then it should work.
This will take a while.
Thanks for all your help.

Sam. It took quite a while to get my usb stick programmed, updated and configured but my MagicMirror is up and running thanks to you. Excellent work on the script!!
Now it is off to customize it. What fun… -
@stampeder awesome! Have fun, come on back if you need more info

Thanks for all your help.
One quick question. I have security cameras that stream ffmpeg. Is there module that will display just one of these camera’s output?
Cheers.
