how to update my MM

RIKKO14

I do this :

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ pm2 update
Be sure to have the latest version by doing `npm install pm2@latest -g` before doing this procedure.
[PM2] [v] Modules Stopped
[PM2] Applying action deleteProcessId on app [all](ids: [ 0 ])

[PM2] Restoring processes located in /home/pi/.pm2/dump.pm2
[PM2] Process /home/pi/mm.sh restored
>>>>>>>>>> PM2 updated

but nothing happens … the MM does not start

same in the MM folder :

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ pm2 update

[PM2] PM2 Successfully daemonized

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $

sdetweil

@rikko14 and then pm2 start

pm2 update fixed the missing file

RIKKO14

same error :

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ pm2 start
[PM2][ERROR] File ecosystem.config.js not found

and

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ pm2 start
[PM2][ERROR] File ecosystem.config.js not found

sdetweil

@rikko14 ok, (when I said pm2 start, I assumed you would know to add the name or number , pm2 start 0)

do

pm2 save
pm2 start 0

RIKKO14

it works but I found this Electron problem … with a black screen :
see a the top right of my screen

sdetweil

@rikko14 black screen… yeh. I added code to fix that but the bad file format problems prevented

do

pm2 stop all
pm2 flush
pm2 start 0

wait til MM comes up

pm2 stop all

then do this (1st post is enough)
https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/15778/fix-for-black-screen-in-2-16-and-later

for each module reporting a missing library (there are more than 1 library potentially missing, so I don’t give you the exact command to issue, but teach you how to find the error and fix it from there)

then after fixing for all modules with problem,
(note you MAY have to repeat this looking thru the log part, I don’t know if they ALL will report, or if it will stop after the 1st error)

pm2 start 0

RIKKO14

I’m not sure I understood and did the right thing …:

@sdetweil Maybe combine the script and check if exist then update, else frsh install? Would that work?

sdetweil

@rikko14 npm init -y

what is going on…

the instructions say

cd modulename (where modulename is the module having the error)

if the module does NOT provide a file called package.json, then do

npm init -y

why are you doing this in the users home folder?

RIKKO14

so i have to do first : cd ~/MagicMirror/ and after npm init -y that’s right ?
