@sdetweil
I know this is a Very OLD thread, but, I tried putting MM on my Pi zero W
and it runs your script but MM doesn’t load, at least not when I VNC into the Zero.
I can use Putty and see it in a command line. So I renamed MM to MM2 and am reinstalling hoping it works this time.

@plainbroke AND you have to change the browser… using the external_browser env variable , documented at the end of the scripts page…

@sdetweil
So all I have to do is update the mm.sh file.
then use apt to install firefox for example.

[sdetweil]

@plainbroke yes
pm2 stop all to make sure the dead one is stopped

and test with

cd ~/MagicMirror
npm start 

to make sure it works

I’ve also posted a detailed step by step guide that’s been working for me on my Pi Zero W. YMMV.
