MagicMirror on Pi Zero W Sept 2020
-
What is the best way to reliably run MagicMirror on a pi Zero W? I have found some articles and how-to’s but they are all outdated. Most reference using older versions of Raspbian. Thanks for any help.
-
@AyeKaye use my install script
-
@sdetweil Should I start with the current Pi OS on the SD card and then begin those scripts?
-
@AyeKaye yes, from newly flashed sd card
-
@AyeKaye there is only one script for install
-
@sdetweil Hi, I tried the script today to install an Mirror on an Pi Zero W. The electron installation fails. As of http://emmanuelcontreras.com/how-to/how-to-create-a-magic-mirror-2-with-pi-zero-w/ this can be fixed with “npm install - arch=armv7l”. After this fix everything seems to work now.

@wishmaster270 the electron installation fails cause there is no good candidate for armv6l. but this is not a failure, as we moved electron to and optional dependency to stop killing the install
the script sets up using chromium.
-
@wishmaster270 please send me the install.log at my same userid at gmail
-
@sdetweil Hi, you are right. My mistake. The installer uses chromium and everything works fine. Sorry
-
@wishmaster270 I used to try the forced armv7l approach, but had failures in other areas as the versions of node increased.
u can see the code commented out in the script.
I finally gave up and implemented the script to launch chromium over the server as the only reliable approach.
