        Up until a few days ago, MagicMirror was working fine on my Pi Zero, however for no apparent reason its now stopped.

        Having looked in the /home/pi/.pm2/logs/MagicMirror-error.log I’m seeing that it cannot find the module ‘electron’

        I’ve tried npm install in the MagicMirror folder and get this error

        Error: Failed to find Electron v6.1.12 for linux-armv6l at https://github.com/electron/electron/releases/download/v6.1.12/electron-v6.1.12-linux-armv6l.zip

        I’ve also tried a fresh install using sdetweil’s script - however I get the same error about electron.

        Can anyone help provide any pointers as to why its not working anymore?

          @rick sounds like an SD card failure I am sorry to say. I have never seen a recovery

              Hi, sdetweil, I just ran your script on top of the full install in this thread, now the mirror is up. Thanks!

                Hi

                I followed the pdf instructions step by step but does not seem to work for me.

                I started with clean install of raspbian on my Pi Z W. Followed, your instructions step by step. no errors apart from the same ones in your pdf (errors while installing dependencies). After some time the installation was complete. It asked if I want to restart, I did. Once booted back up nothing loaded even after half an hour. I navigated to localhost:8080 with no success. I also tried run serveronly/ and this didn’t help.

                I’m not sure what I am doing wrong as it seems most people are getting it working very easily.

                Any help would be great! Thanks

                    @sdetweil My Magic Mirror install on a Pi Zero has been running great. I see an alert now that there is a Magic Mirror Update available. Do I just run your upgrade-script.sh to bring my Pi Zero install up to date with Magic Mirror v2.13.0?

                        Thanks! Out of curiosity, why do I need to run it 2 times? I would have missed that detail if you didn’t’ let me know.
