<![CDATA[PM2 Error]]>Ok so I’m following the guide to install the mirror. I’m now at the auto start part. I did the command “sudo npm install -g pm2” as pi user. Next I did “pm2 startup”, I do the command I ask and I get and error. alt text

Please help!

PM2 does not seem to “realize” that.

Note that there is ANOTHER problem with PM2 that is now reported as a bug - read all about it here:

Best of luck - and don’t hesitate to ask for help!

sudo su -c "env PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin pm2 startup linux -u pi --hp /home/pi" to this:
sudo su -c "env PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin pm2 startup systemd -u pi --hp /home/pi"
seem to work!

Run the command pm2 startup. It gave me a command to enter. When I pressed enter it was not working I keep giving me an error!

Just to be sure … you ran pm2 startup and that told you to run the command your screenshot shows? There are other users with similar problems: https://github.com/Unitech/pm2/issues/2574

I’m also new at this, so I could be very wrong at this.
