Fresh install MM2 RP3 wont start :(

[paddyhughes]

Hi I have installed MagicMirror2 5 times now and still get to the same issue of not starting up.
Setup
Raspberry pi 3
Jessie Full
Auto Installer MagicMirror

I have used the Automatic Installer (Raspberry Pi Only!)
OK the first time i used Raspbian Stretch Lite but then i moved to Raspbian Stretch Full wont start.

After some googling i came across a link to install it with Raspbian Jessie Full

Here is my
npm-debug.log

@paddyhughes

did u try it manually yet?
https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/5274/how-to-manually-install-mm-on-your-pi-for-absolute-beginners/3

Remove your actual MagicMirror folder and try it like described in the link

@cruunnerr

Hi Thanks for the suggestion. just followed them steps
i am now getting the following errors when i run npm start

error code ELIFECYCLE
err! Errno 1

I have a second Sd Card i am going to try it on Raspbian Stretch Full and see if i can get it working

Thanks for all the support guys

[paddyhughes]

Hi so it Just worked.

i was logged in and installed MagicMirror in CLI mode
Just before i decide to move to a new SD card i changed the CLI to GUI in sudo raspi-config
and rebooted the pi once it logged it the MagicMirror kicked in after about 20seconds

Did i do something wrong should i have always had the GUI enables and just worked in terminal
if so. Sorry my bad…

Also any way for the MagicMirror to start quicker with out seeing the GUI Desktop

@paddyhughes Yeah, MM relies on the GUI to display the browser. It’s possible to run without a GUI, but it requires some extra packages and effort. Sorry, didn’t think to ask, but glad to hear it’s up and running!

@ninjabreadman
