      Hello. I’m getting this error when I try to install pm2:

      • do I install in /MagicMirror directory?
      pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ sudo npm install -g pm2
      npm ERR! Unexpected end of JSON input while parsing near '...s":{"moment-timezone"'

            @mrlowndes lsb_release -a

            same way you did results of npm -v

            on my desktop i see

            (base) sam@sams:~/MagicMirror$ lsb_release -a
            No LSB modules are available.
            Distributor ID:	Ubuntu
            Description:	Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS
            Release:	18.04
            Codename:	bionic
            

            do this

            sudo apt-get purge -y npm 
            

            then

            rm -rf ~/MagicMirror
            

            and then run my installer script from here
            https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts
            read the readme for the command to issue

            it will ask to install pm2 and disable screen saver

            if you don’t, then I have extra scripts to do those

              @sdetweil ok I’ll give that a go. In the meantime:

              pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo npm install -g pm2
              npm ERR! Unexpected end of JSON input while parsing near '...s":{"moment-timezone"'

              and

              pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ lsb_release -a

                @mrlowndes so, I asked you to uninstall npm

                sudo apt-get purge -y npm

                      We're ready! Run pm2 start MagicMirror from the ~/MagicMirror directory to start your MagicMirror.
                       
                       
                      pi@raspberrypi:~ $ cd MagicMirror
                      pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ pm2 start MagicMirror
                      bash: pm2: command not found
                      pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $

                        @sdetweil looks like pm2 was not installed:

                        Splashscreen: Changed theme to MagicMirror successfully.
                        Do you want use pm2 for auto starting of your MagicMirror (y/N)?y
                        install and setup pm2
                        bash: line 442: pm2: command not found
                        bash: line 518: pm2: command not found
                        bash: line 521: pm2: command not found
                        Do you want to disable the screen saver? (y/N)?y
