Installing on a Pi Zero

@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
-
@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.
-
@RushHour99 as folks have invested a lot of time in setting up their systems, only to have an update crash everything,
I wanted to provide a ‘test’ 1st, so people might be more comfortable with what might be impacted…
and NOT make changes if they don’t want to continue…all my work suffers from problems in the base that is being applied, like some new translation file comments for years old modules this time…

@sdetweil said in Installing on a Pi Zero:
@akz_g use my script. the old instructions don’t work anymore
Thanks for this @sdetweil I will try with a fresh image. Do I just run master/raspberry.sh… ?
Going to try it tonight! many thanks
-
@akz_g no… the script is not in the base anymore … run it directly from here
https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts
it does everything, prep the system, download the code, install the dependencies, add support for pi 0,
add support for starting at boot, turn off screen saver -
@sdetweil Thanks again! will let you know how I get on :)
-
@akz_g first message I got was
this appears not to be a Raspberry Pi 2, 3 or 4, do you want to continue installation (y/N)?should I continue? don’t want to waste another hour if i’m doing it wrong.
-
@akz_g no, keep going
-
@sdetweil Thanks so much! got it working and it was a very easy install in the end. My next step is to have a look at the config.js file and tailor it to UK etc… I guess this is the place I can add new modules also?
-
@akz_g yes, see the links in my signature for learning
-
@andyc7687 I know this is almost 2 years later, but this did not work on the pi zero w. I got to the point of on page 18 where it was supposed to say MagicMirror running. But it never did. It did say it was installed correctly, and to reboot, which I did, but it isn’t working.
$ pm2 show MagicMirror
[PM2][WARN] MagicMirror doesn’t existI don’t even know how to begin to troubleshoot this. (This was my second attempt at trying to install magic mirror.)
-
@eracerhead use my script
see here for instructions
https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scriptsremove the MagicMirror folder
-
I can say as of November 6 2020 the script works for installing the MagicMirror and auto starts on raspberry pi 0w. But… I do have some questions. How do I go about stopping the mirror so I can install modules? I’m a complete newb at this

@camcooper151515 minimize
alt-spacebar, n
then alt-ctrl-t to open a terminal window, them the pm2 commandpm2 stop 0, or MagicMirror
-
@sdetweil thanks I’ll try when I get home in the morning. Thanks so much for a working install I was at my wits end trying to get this to work until I found this thread. May I ask one more thing of you? Is there a command sequence I follow to stop the blanking of the screen after a few minutes for you install?
-
@camcooper151515 it should have asked if you wanted to disable screensaver.
anyhow, on the same site as the install script there is a command to turn it off now, down near the bottom of the page
-
@sdetweil thanks that worked again. Is there a reason that my weather is not showing by default? Does it have to be setup first before it shows?
