        @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.

            @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?

                @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 exist

                I don’t even know how to begin to troubleshoot this. (This was my second attempt at trying to install magic mirror.)

                    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
