      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 :(

                  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.

                    @nigel-daniels ok. We need to upgrade node or npm

                    Try
                    sudo npm I -g npm
                    Then npm install --only=prod
                    In the MagicMirror folder

                      @sdetweil thanks for the support, that fixed it!

                      It looks like npm was broken. I removed node and npm then installed node v10.20.1 and things seem to be working again. Running npm install --only=prod let the install run without getting upset about electron!

                        I ran your raspberry.sh install script on a Raspberry Pi Zero W yesterday. I started with a fresh install of Rasbian. The script completed with some warnings, but the Magic Mirror started and seems to be running OK. What does this error mean? Should I try to fix it even though MagicMirror seems to be running OK?

                        The errored log file was located at /home/pi/.npm/_logs/2020-04-14T22_35_02_257Z-debug.log
