@sdetweil Just and FYI, I just tried a fresh install and got the same issue with node.

yes, you didn’t use the install script you did it manually

@mumblebaj yeh, I was working on a mobile app last weekend
It had npm 11 installed ( windows) and had all the acceptscript problems -
@sdetweil Yeah, warnings come from 11.16.0+
-
@mumblebaj on windows these were NOT warnings… I actually had to run different tasks to get the scripts allowed/approved… I hadn’t expected that in npm 11…
same problem as always, some scammers leveraged the automation tools to do damage and now we all have to pay for it…

Moin (as we say here in Hamburg),
I’ve just reinstalled my MM using Sam’s “Install MagicMirror²” script. The script displayed and verified Node version 22.22.1.
I then ran Sam’s upgrade script, which expected Node version 22.22.2 and installed it.
If that’s how it’s meant to be – everything’s fine.pimaster@MM0626:~/MagicMirror $ bash -c "$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/upgrade-script.sh)" apply update log will be in /home/pimaster/MagicMirror/installers/upgrade.log doing test run = false Node currently installed.

There might also be a minor error in Sam’s restore script here.

@MyMirror can you provide me the

In the issue. Please explain the steps you used up to restore
edit
| thanks… see it -
this was a bug in backup and restore when multiple ‘module’ folders were sourced from the same git repo (multi- instance copy type problem)
the two scripts are fixed now… if you used these scripts, please run another backup to make sure the module_list file is updated…
