I used a Raspberry pi 2 with a fresh install of Raspbian Jessie and I followed the step by step tutorial (https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/236/complete-setup-tutorial)

I believe @paviro is the Electron God around here. But he’s busy with school at the moment so it may be a bit before he responds.

Hi,

Same error for me (Raspberry Pi 3 / Jessie)

Thanks

Bangee

as I c, you’ve installed your MagicMirror in the /root directory.
I’m not sure if this is working so far.

Try to install everything as pi and not as root in the /home/pi directory and let us know what happend.

try whoami -> pi

update your distribution with sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

then cd /home/pi or only cd

and install again: curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/master/installers/raspberry.sh | bash

@Bangee
I just try to launch the autoinstaller as pi in /home/pi and it works !

Thanks a lot ;)

Can you share this with us?

Hi Bangee,

Sorry for this late. Find this my npm file.

Thanks

Hi,

I found my problem. I need start “npm start” directly on my session “pi”.

Thanks all

@Bangee
first, I’m rather new to the RPi.
Second, I’m having issues installing MM2.

started with a 32G sd and installed Raspian.
then did sudo apt-get update, followed by sudo apt-get upgrade.
cd /home/pi.
Then curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/master/installers/raspberry.sh | bash
All went well, except the last lines, which were:
Cloning MagicMirror Done!
Installing dependencies …
bash: line 108: npm: command not found
Unable to install dependencies!
the cd ~/MagicMirror followed by npm start
I get the following error message, “bash: npm: command not found”.
What am I doing wrong, please.

KirAsh4

Missing some info here: Which Raspberry Pi? Which version of Rasbian? Have you tried following the complete installation guide, from unboxing to having MM² up and running?

Bu52

@KirAsh4 It is a RPi 3. Raspian is version 1.9.2. I did it all with one exception. I used Noobs to install Raspian instead of installing Raspian directly to my SD Card. All else is the same.

I will try it again without using Noobs.

KirAsh4

The NOOBS installation isn’t a complete version of Jessie, unfortunately. It’s a slightly “lighter” version to fit on the card with the other OS versions.

Bu52

@KirAsh4 Thank-you. I think I’m making good progress because it is getting past the dependancies. However, when I start ‘npm start’ I get about a list of error lines. If I can figure out how to upload files, I will send a text file of the error responses and the npm-debug.log file.

Hi @KirAsh4 ,
I found the problem. Well, I didn’t. It was under Neokamikaze’s post. I had been using PuTTY in the installation because it made it easier and more accurate to cut and paste directions. The errors were during that PuTTY session. When I key in “npm start” from a command windows directly on the RPi 3, it comes up with the proper screen.

I still have some additional issues, but IT RUNS!! thank-you for your help. I proved I couldn’t have done it myself.

And thank-you, too, Neokamikaze.

KirAsh4

Right. If you had followed the guide, you would’ve noticed that nowhere does it talk about using a client to connect and perform the various commands. You need to access it with a keyboard attached anyway to do the initial configuration before you can connect remotely, so rather than introduce another variable (having someone install something else), I opted not to do that.

That said, I’ll make a note in the guide. When connecting remotely, you must run the command as:

$ DISPLAY=:0 npm start
