I tested 2.12 on buster a couple weeks ago, again.

i am at a loss as to what to do next other than to sell everything.

It may take a little time and a few attempts but follow @sdetweil’s directions and he will help you get it running.

you open a terminal window, ctrl-alt-t, and the install.log should be right there

u have to edit it,
nano install.log
or type it
cat install.log

you did NOT use sudo when u ran the install, correct?

i now have mm installed as per your instructions i can open the config and everything else but still cant get the mm display.you asked to see the install log but permission was denied.
i am finding it difficult to understand why matters seem more complicated which makes everything more daunting especially after having an up and running mm which was ruined by me installing out of date info.
i am at a loss as to what to do next other than to sell everything.
regards,
geo

because u copied some old instructions.
the install scripts were removed 2 releases ago, because they require constant updating, which the project felt was not in the core mission of MagicMirror.

I have taken over maintenance and updates for the scripts, and this is mentioned on the project GitHub site, as alternative install methods
see after

to start mm after install, you navigate to the MagicMirror folder and execute npm start

cd ~/MagicMirror
npm start

to install you copy/paste this line

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

which will execute the install process

or slow way, open a browser on pi, and terminal window, and copy. paste that way
