@sdetweil No, i am trying to run it as its recommended on a Raspberry Pi (4B)
Untill now i just followed exactly the steps provided on the Installation & Usage page.
I didnt installed any extra Modules… wanted first to try out if it works…I am a newbie in Linux and programming, so it may take a while for me to read about how to use and execute the commands.

@A_Nameless_Ghoul did you use sudo? sudo git clone? NEVER use sudo for MM related commands
use my install script… it does all the work (listed as first alternative in doc, or see
https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts) -
@sdetweil ok, Thank you for the install script! I didn´t scrolled so far down on the Installation & Usage page to see, that there is an automatic installation script because in the introduction it says “Therefore the only officially supported way of installation is by using a manual installation.” So i just tried to install it manually… F**k me… right?
I will format my SD card and make a fresh start tomorrow!
Thank you for now! Will keep you updated!
Cheers -
@A_Nameless_Ghoul said in EACCES: permission denied, open js/positions.js:
the only officially supported way of installation
yes, hate that sentence
it means by the MM org team, whoever they are (but it includes me!)
but, if my script breaks I will fix it so that it works… (so its ‘supported’) -
@A_Nameless_Ghoul just btw i added a trap the actual error and I added a new message if this occurs
