      I had my mirror working earlier. Issues getting it updated (module, then node errors and issues updating) but got it working.
      I added a module, then I ran into problems.

      I removed the MagicMirror folder and contents.
      I copied and pasted your script into my raspberrypi (3B+ Running Bookworm)
      I have not been able to install MM.
      I have tried install,start,update,run, npm in different command combos accompanied with Sudo.

      I was getting (node:27979) [DEP1070]… url proxy port invalid…future node.js will throw an error.

      Running config:check
      Node:internal/module/cjs/loader:1228
      Throw error;
      A

      Error: Cannot find module ‘ansis’
      …/js/check_config.js
      …
      …
      At object (…js/check_config.js:3:16)
      Code:‘MODULE_NOT_FOUND’
      requirestack: […/MagicMirror/js/check_config.js]

      Node.js V20.17.0

      I am not sure what I am missing as it is a new download with attempted install.

      I also have a list of dependencies not created or may be moved out of incoming
      "The following packages have unmet dependencies:
      npm: Depends: node-agent-base but it is not going to be installed
      …
      …
      (Long list of file nodes with same message)
      …
      Recommends: node-tap but it is not going to be installed

      E:unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

      I can’t seem to figure out what I am missing or why I can’t force updates or complete install.

      *note: the node and DEP problem occurred after I installed the first and only module on the previous MM config.js file.
      That was the reason I scrapped the whole folder and started over with your link.

      I’m not super savvy, but have been working through the learning process of required packages and getting upto date to get the first MM running.
      Hopefully this is something simple to correct and action.

      Appreciate any help

        i have not been able to install MagicMirror

        i don’t understand

        my install script does that job

        you don’t have to do anything else

        just copy paste the command from my github page and press enter

        send me the ~/install.log

          I’ll try to access it remotely. I didn’t intend on doing that at this point. I’ll navigate the how to and get back soon.

          I cannot attach images here.
          I can barely load the browser and tabs for Google searches (Chromium and Mozilla) on the device itself to be able to C&C here.

          Could there be something lingering from previous install setup that I need to clear/purge through terminal?

            @StewartBaird86 use your windows system for the forum

            install either winscp or bitvise ssh clients on your windows system, then you can access the target system with a file manager interface and drag/drop files to copy, and still have an ssh terminal too

              this means that the npm run install-mm failed. do

              cd ~/MagicMirror 
              npm run install-mm
