Node.js v20.5.1
npm installation Done! version=V
It seems like MagicMirror is already installed.
To prevent overwriting, the installer will be aborted.
Please rename the ~/MagicMirror folder and try again.

@ijahmc2u please don’t do the node20 stuff it messes it all up

flash the SD card
boot , configure wifi…
reboot run my install script

then add the; ther stuff

do NOT DO ANY NODE INSTALL . my script will handle all that.

sdetweil

@ijahmc2u can you show me the ~/install.log

you flash the SD card
boot and first thing run my install script

then add other stuff. opencv… etc

sdetweil

@ijahmc2u that sounds like the old script

so do

sudo apt-get remove nodejs npm -y

then after

hash -r

then node -v
should be command not found

@sdetweil

this was a new sd card and new install …

for some reason it is telling me the log file needs to end in png… jpeg not in .log
anyway to get ti working I had to do the following

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y ca-certificates curl gnupg
curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/gpgkey/nodesource-repo.gpg.key | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/nodesource.gpg
NODE_MAJOR=20
echo “deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/nodesource.gpg] https://deb.nodesource.com/node_$NODE_MAJOR.x nodistro main” | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nodesource.list
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install nodejs -y

sorry just lost power for a bit there…
so to answer your questions this was a fresh install of MM on a new SD card
no I installed the opencv and dlib first as I have had issues with them in the past so I built them from source…
while doing some reading I installed nodejs from the steps on their site and then ran your script and now it installed everything and ran pm2 as well … vnc is not working but thats ok for now.

also note I was trying to upload my install.log but it won’t let me upload a .log file

@sdetweil
admin@rasmm:~ $ node -v
v20.8.1

sdetweil

@ijahmc2u hm… but why? should be 20.8.0

do

n ls

@ijahmc2u please don’t do the node20 stuff it messes it all up
