Installing on a Pi Zero
-
@big11 this goes to my forked repo. Are you booting through to the desktop or to the console?
-
so since yesterday i installed many times from Scratch but without success……
With your script i ran into Troubles with a lot of Errors…
missing dependencies….
so i suggest to do more steps after “sudo apt INSTALL --fix-missing” -> “apt UPGRADE --fix-missing” does not work…
sudo dpkg –configure -a. and. sudo apt install -f.at npm install a lot of Warnings e.g.
npm WARN grunt-stylelint@0.10.1 requires a peer of stylelint@^9.0.0 but none is installed. You must install peer dependencies yourself. npm WARN acorn-jsx@5.0.1 requires a peer of acorn@^6.0.0 but none is installed.

it won’t start …
as done in the guide i created a mm.sh script und configured this for autostart with pm2
at next start Nothing happens to start MagicMirror localy
a “pm2 logs mm”
Shows a loop of “sh run-start.sh”

but electron.js isn’t installedtrying manually install this with

does anybody know where my Failure is ??
Thank you

@big11 I did a test install today, so I’m really not sure what you are doing.
You will notice that the missing dependencies are installed in subsequent steps (e.g. there’s a problem with style lint and acorn. This is then fixed (see where it says
+ stylelint@9.9.0and+ acornlower down in your warnings).This installation is completely different from the MM-Wiki. It does not use
sh run-start.shat all. Therefore there may well be problems.Can I ask, are you doing your installation over SSH/Telnet? or on the Pi itself? because you keep mentioning ‘locally’ and I just want to make sure I know what you mean by that.
Edit: Also, don’t use npm install in sudo; it should be run as the normal user
-
as for your Question
i’m installing over SSH but start it then directly on the Pi0…
i will i try a new Installation by now…
normally i don’t run “npm install” as root…
don’t know if i wrote so… -
thats my “achievment” from last night…

finally full success!!:)
@big11 install directly from raspberry terminal not via ssh.
After few fresh installation and hundreds errors last time tried install usingbash -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. -
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 -
Awesome write up. Super helpful!
-
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.)
-
@cdh1001 please specify tweaks as they might help others.
-
@andyc7687 - I needed to delete the line:
key_mgmt=WPA-PSKBased 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.
-
Thanks for the script and the hints so far :-)
Unfortunately I am really frustrated after x installations. :-( Currently everything is installed the autostart works but chrome says “err_connection_refused”!
Does anyone have an idea?
Zero W V1.1 / Raspian Desktop / no sudo
-
@smolo Some suggestions: First, make sure that some form of IP address is present in the
addresskey. Usually 127.0.0.1, but the IP address of your pi will probably work too. Without that value, the web server has a tendency to freak out.Second, make sure you are specifying the port in your web call. That one has bitten me a couple times.
Third, I would double-check your IP whitelist in the
config.js. Possibly open it up to all connections and attempt to view the magic mirror from another computer. See if the problem is local to the PI Zero or if it is on a deeper level. -
@bhepler
First, as a supplement the installation is absolute standard except for another VNC server.
Chromium starts automaticly with http://localhost:8080I have already tested the following constellations before my post.
the local ip (192.168.2.84:8080)
127.0.0.1:8080
localhost:8080“err_connection_refused”
with https browser fault > “err_address_unreachable”
Other things :…
- ublock is inactive!
- Configuration vom MagicMirror Config:
var config = {
port: 8080,
address: “0.0.0.0”,
ipWhitelist: [], - Test from another pc > “err_connection_refused”
-
I’ve solved the problem and it’s going crazy. After I tried with a portscanner to find out if there is anything running I found out that there is no port 8080 open.
If somebody has problems checking the logs via "pm2 logs MagicMirror --lines 1000
I missed the npm module “moment” under “/home/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules/moment”!!!:astonished_face:
Go to MagicMirror > “npm install” the problem was solved!:slightly_smiling_face:
-
@andyc7687, thanks a lot! It will be easy for me now, I planned going for building a device like yours
Regards -
@analogcheep thanks, let me know if yours works and upvote if it is helpful!

today i have to reinstall MM and I have some small problem. MM do not show on local hdmi outpul- I can see the dektop but no MM. Server is working properly because when I open it from laptop i can see MM, when I connect to raspberry pi via vnc i can see to MM. What is going on? what i miss?
