thats my “achievment” from last night…

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ cd MagicMirror/
pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ npm start

> magicmirror@2.6.0 start /home/pi/MagicMirror
> sh run-start.sh

run-start.sh: 4: run-start.sh: electron: not found

finally full success!!:)
@big11 install directly from raspberry terminal not via ssh.
After few fresh installation and hundreds errors last time tried install using

bash -c "$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ac2799/MagicMirror/master/installers/raspberry.sh)"

from raspberrypi terminal.There were some errors but finally worked.
if you want, I can make a image of my card and share it.

@12wsx

you made my day…

it works…

the first differences i encountered was the Installation of electron …
this i didn’t found at all the others…

and i thought before, that this will be the quest…

regarding to the warnings installing npm

you could fix that with “npm Audit fix” or “npm Audit fix --force”
as suggested…

i did this also, so maybe this could be an error too…

and if it works but this warnings, who cares…. :-)

have a great day…
thank you

Thank you very much for this work! The tutorial works perfectly. I just installed it in a rpi zero W. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to install it on this SBC.

Many thanks Andrew - worked well for me (other than first step: connecting to wifi with WPA2 needed some minor tweaks.)

[andyc7687]

@cdh1001 please specify tweaks as they might help others.

[cdh1001]

@andyc7687 - I needed to delete the line: key_mgmt=WPA-PSK Based on discussions elsewhere I originally tried renaming Key_mgmt to WPA2 and/or changing group=CCMP, but neither of those were necessary for me; simply deleting the line was sufficient.

@cdh1001 thanks, I will amend my guide over the weekend then.
