Pi Zero and MagicMirror2

plainbroke

I had MagicMirror on my PiZero and lost the sd card, replaced it with a new one and now I can not get MagicMirror to load.

Did you use my install script?

Electron is not available for armv6l

You need to install another browser, Firefox, midori, push
Then launch browser over server mode

My script does all the setup
You have to set an env variable for which ever browser

If you are installed but still need updated, there is a separate script for that

But it’s been like this for a few years now, so you probably had it this way

yes, I tried using your script like usual, but it gives me the electron message.
I have bookworm 32 bit on it. Went into raspi-config and set the default browser to firefox. Set my location and time ect. Turned on VNC had to update the raspi-config first. So many hoops to jump through anymore… Can I install electron manually so that your script works on my pi0 ? I like your scripts they take a LOT of the time setting up out of the equation… Especially your backup script… It saved me a lot of work recently when I lost the sd card on my LePotato that only runs MMM-MPlayer So I have a screen with my Driveway camera showing 24/7, I live out in the sticks.

@plainbroke in the script that starts MagicMirror

~/MagicMirror/installers/mm.sh

Do the environment variable as documented in the readme
I dont know about default anything

Backup setup only takes time if you are using GitHub for storage (recommended)

This is what I get when i try you install script.
Is there a fix for this I can’t find in my notes or online?

@plainbroke you would have to use one of the prior releases

I am away from home now, look thru the tags on GitHub
I think last release will work

Looks like 2.30.0,
Have to install node 20.18.1

All has to be done manually

@sdetweil
Ok, I can do that already have node at 18 and npm at 9 I have notes on upgrading them.
Thanks for the reminder on how to do this…
Much appreciated.
