New Installation don´t work

xeroxu

Hi,

I started a new installation with the guide, but when I came to the point : npm run install-mm
I get the Error message: command not found.

What is wrong?

@xeroxu ah, you didn’t copy the line exactly as it was on GitHub…

when u have the mouse over the line to copy, a little box will appear to copy the text
it should be

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

this uses curl to download the text. and then bash to execute it

sdetweil

@xeroxu after you did the

git clone

did you

cd MagicMirror

xeroxu

git clone & cd MagicMirror

I´ll gonna try your script

Thx for your answer

I gonna repeat whats gonna happen when i tried it

xeroxu

so, now I tried the automated script ant copied :

curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/raspberry.sh

but also it doesn´t work, maybe my sd card is damaged?

@xeroxu can u email me the ~/install.log file so I can see what the issue is
my email is same userid at gmail

xeroxu

@sdetweil
sorry, but I can´t find the install.logfile. either in the MagicMirror directory or or the main directory of the pi.

sdetweil

 ~/install.log

means the file

install.log

located in

the users home folder

on my pi, logged on as use pi, the home folder is

/home/pi

you can easily do

cd ~

to get there

the log is created ONLY from the scripted install.

sdetweil

but also it doesn´t work,

you did open a terminal window and paste that command string in, right?

xeroxu

/home/pi

and after i press enter a lot of lines scroll down.

but in the home/pi/ directory is no install.log
