<![CDATA[Installing on Xubuntu 18.04.6 LTS]]>hi there,
please forgive me if im posting in the wrong place, im new to linux and life. My first install was on a rpi3 which went without a hitch. I want to use an old acer 5672wlmi 32 bit laptop with Xubuntu 18.04.6 LTS to run magic mirror.
i chose xubuntu because of its low requirements and that version is the last to support 32 bit machines.
After install, it spat out some errrors about node.js and npm. From what i gathered, ithe versions that shipped with OS were too low and so after some googling i managed to manually install newest versions of the 2 from unofficial builds. i keep getting this error,(see attached) please help me i ve spent so much time and effort on this, i really want it to work! Any help or direction appreciated.
BTW im open to using other lightweight 32bit linux if it will run MM.

I’m Patrick from France. I’m also trying to install MagicMirror on an old 32 bit computer. Like Rukytech, I’ve installed Raspberry pi OS and tried the sdetweil script installation. Unfortunately, I get a 404 error apparently, when installing node.js.

I get the following message:
curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 404
Error: download preflight failed for ‘20.9.0’ (https://nodejs.org/dist/v20.9.0
/node-v20.9.0- Linux-x86. tar. xz)

And indeed, it seems that the file node-v20.9.0- Linux-x86. tar. xz no longer exists.
Thanks in advance if anyone has an idea. I hope it’s not a problem to have resurrected this old topic.

SO,

alt-spacebar,n to minimize MM

ctrl-alt-t to open a terminal window

pm2 status to see what being managed
pm2 stop MagicMirror
or
pm2 stop the number of the line (0 probably)
or
pm2 stop all

pm2 --help for all the other thing pm2 can do

I assume i keep getting the node and npm versions wrong. I popped in ur script and worked like a charm. Thank you again. Now, everytime i close the magic mirror app, it automatically restarts, i assume its by dessign from the last part of the script. Is there a way to disbale it temporarily until im done setting it up?
Also does this script work with any linux distro? Like puppy?
