Installing on a Pi Zero

[Bj0rne]

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?

[sdetweil]

@RushHour99 yes, note that u have to run two times.

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.

@RushHour99 i don’t understand , then doc says

Update to next MagicMirror version from an existing MagicMirror installation
upgrade-script.sh will do the git pull and npm install, and refresh npm setup for any modules that might need it
it should handle all the work…

and give you a trial run of all that, only applying changes if u request them
give it a try

this works on Mac as well, cut/paste this line into the terminal window on your device

bash -c  "$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/upgrade-script.sh)"
================no changes are made to the local repo or the working copy========================
if you WANT to actually apply the changes, cut/paste this line into the terminal window on your device
bash -c  "$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/upgrade-script.sh)" apply

Thanks for the reply. I did read that but it just seemed a little confusing since it was the same bash command. I haven’t run the upgrade script yet, so it might be more clear when I do but i guess the script knows if it’s been run a 2nd time?

@RushHour99 its NOT the same, there is an extra parameter at the end… apply

[RushHour99]

@sdetweil Thanks! It is much more clear now. My screen size truncated the “apply” parameter at the end of the line. Now that I scroll horizontally I see the “apply”. Thanks again for the feedback.
