      In Linux we can ask OS about architecture. “arch” - this command returns CPU architecture. For rpi zero - armv6l, for rpi 3b - armv7l. Maybe that helps you.

          “uname -m” - does the same as “arch”,
          “uname -p” and “uname -i” says unknown.

            Thanks for the PDF guide/instructions, after a week of tinkering and googling this was the only method I got to work with my Zero (Wish I started with this guide!)

              @InfiProj thanks… I’ve updated my new test installer to use that info

              https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/10171/anyone-want-to-try-updated-installer?page=1

              my intent is to submit this new installer to replace the project version…

                I just attempted to install 2.11.0 on a Pi0 W, I got the following error running npm install:

                Any idea where resolve should be set and what is missing?

                  @nigel-daniels i do not know… please use the scripted install from here

                  https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts

                  look at the instructions

                  also, rename MagicMirror folder out of the way… or erase it… install thinks it is doing for the 1st time.

                    @sdetweil hi, I have everything else set up and don’t really want to change thing, I had configured the PiZero some time ago. I was just reinstalling MM2. I decided I had left it so long since the last up date I just backed up my modules + config and have performed a reinstall. As far as I can tell the script is attempting a full config of the pi0?

                        @sdetweil looks like the script gets to the same place :(

                        Installing dependencies ...

                        The config.json only mentions electron in the optional dependancies so I don’t know where the resolve comes from. It looks to the the property of some var that is not being set.
