Need Help with magicmirror
-
@WM1600 rename the folder
cd ~/
mv MagicMirror MagicMirror. oldthen run my install script
see
https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scriptsit will do all the setup install node and npm,
sometimes the problem
for install is so messed up, you have to refresh the sd card and then run my scriptthe script will also setup pm2 to launch at boot if you say yes at the prompt
if the install is successful you an copy the two json files for Google photos from the prior folder

@sdetweil thank you,
I have re-installed Magic Mirror and chose to disable screen save and to start magicmirror on boot-up.
the install worked for magicmirror and and when I go to the magic mirror folder in terminal and type “npm run start”, magicmirror will start.when I turn the terminal off and boot it up, It comes up with a magicmirror boot screen, but then the terminal continues to the normal start-up.
At this point, I can still go to terminal and type npm run start and run magicmirrorAm I missing a step to transition fully into magicmirror?

@sdetweil

@WM1600 what is the output of the pm2 logs command? I need to see

the terminal looks like this
will@raspberrypi:~ $ pm2 logs --lines=50
will@raspberrypi:~ $I do not see it doing anything.
[pm2.jpg](Input file contains unsupported image format)
I tried to upload the PM2.log but it says I can only upload picture files.so I changed pm2.log to pm2.jpg. dont know it that will work.
