      @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
        No LSB modules are available.

                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:

                  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
