            I ran the following in terminal

            will@raspberrypi:~ $ bash -c “$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/fixuppm2.sh)”
            the log will be saved in /home/will/MagicMirror/installers/pm2_setup.log
            /usr/local/bin/node: 1: Syntax error: “)” unexpected
            /usr/local/bin/node: 1: Syntax error: “)” unexpected
            will@raspberrypi:~ $

            I have seen “Syntax error: “)” unexpected” before but that is the first time I have seen it twice

            here is the log file:

            it is saying the user is not pi, but this is on a rasberry pi

              @WM1600 yes, your username is will, not pi

              can you do

              uname -a
              file $(which bash)
              

              I think you have a hybrid system
              64 bit kernel
              32 bit runtime

              and you have the wrong (64 bit) node installed

                  @WM1600 ok then…

                  hm… trying to figure out the best way to fix this

                  the bad node install is hard to get out of.

                  I think redoing the sd card is the cleanest

                  use my backup script to save the MagicMirror setup.
                  https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror-backup-restore

                  it’s three files plus any addon files made by modules, like the token file for photos
                  one little directory.

                  if you use github then it can save all that to a private repo u build on github.

                  otherwise copy the folder off somewhere you can get it back

                  make the new sd card,
                  boot, don’t update during bootup
                  install MagicMirror using my install script
                  https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts
                  which will update node/npm too

                  then restore your MagicMirror setup

                    Sam,

                    wanted to get back with you and let you know that the re-install worked.

                    Thank you very much for the help, I could not have done it with out you!

                    Will
