            thank you for help, i had to reinstal system once more becase there were a lot of errors.
            After new instalation pm2 didn’t start properly. after few hours i found why.
            In pm2_MagicMirrorPi0.json
            line:
            “script” : “/MagicMirror/PiZero/startMagicMirror.sh”,
            should be :
            “script” : “/MagicMirror/PiZero/startMagicMirrorPi0.sh”,

              which installer are you using? I don’t see the filename pm2_MagicMirrorPi0.json
              or “script” : “/MagicMirror/PiZero/startMagicMirror.sh”,
              in the raspberry.sh script…

                ah, ok… i see you followed the manual instructions back a few posts…

                i have a modified raspberry.sh I have for testing, that takes user into account

                https://www.dropbox.com/s/izj6dz2z9557oga/raspberry.sh?dl=0

                to use it like normal

                bash -c “$(curl -sL https://www.dropbox.com/s/izj6dz2z9557oga/raspberry.sh?dl=0)”

                  If I try to install magic mirror on the pi zero i get an error that electron 3.0.13 not found for armv6 , by editing the package.json file to specify electron 2.0.18. I can get it to work, although I cannot find a version of electron for armv6 on the electron repo. Any idea why 2.0.18 would work? What would I need to try to compile electron 3 for armv6?

                  https://github.com/electron/electron/releases/tag/v2.0.18

                  Thanks!

                      @johnnyt1111 why work. Cause electron 2.0.18 binary exists and 3.0.13 does not. There may be a technical reason, or they skipped it due to low demand.
