Installing on a Pi Zero
-
@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
