Oh man, what was the problem?

but it works when done manually…

thanks man , unfortunately there is still a problem as soon as I enter the following commands it works and magic mirror starts but after reboot the desktop comes back

with this command Magic Mirror starts

pm2 start  ~/MagicMirror/installers/pm2_MagicMirror_new.json

after this command it still works

pm2 save

and after this reboot command the raspberry pi restarts and it shows the desktop instead Magic Mirror.

 sudo reboot

thanks so much

[PM2] To setup the Startup Script, copy/paste the following command:
sudo env PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin /usr/local/lib/node_modules/pm2/bin/pm2 startup systemd -u Admin --hp /home/Admin

Finally it works many many thanks to @sdetweil

[sdetweil]

@Syosse and your troubles convinced me to look at the pm2 setup problem from the script, and I was able to see the issue and fix it for others…

thanks…
