            had the same issue with a brand spankin new installation of raspian noobs full and apt-get update/upgrade/dist-upgrade done. freshly set up. the install oneliner failed. only manual setup worked. using a rpi3. maybe there’s a broken dependency somewhere?

                it seems good, better than i used to think

                but i 've got a few problem with forecast weather module
                i cant see the predicted amount of rain.
                i set up the option by true and it dont changes anythinks

                second problem :
                i set up “colored” in true but
                instead of having max and min temperature
                i’ve got max and gap :
                max temp is in red and gap is in blue

                that sucks

                any ideas ?

                  @seramik You can find the problem inside the modules by using the Developer tools. Acces this by using the shortcut ctrl + shift + i. When you have the developer tools open you can inspect elements and figure out errors by reading the console log and or relevant code for the element. There is so much more information there though :winking_face:

                  This really important tool will help you so much with fixing problems inside your MagicMirror. What also will help you is this forum and knowledge you gather. Good luck with figuring out your 2 problems! If you have more questions do ask!

                    true, no rain prediction, cauz of type of account on meteo site, i read it

                    for temp max and temp min, it seems to be an actual trouble,
                    TY for the tips, i’ve already found the proper section, where i 'll have to ask my question

                      I helped a friend do a setup, we used :

                      • The latest RPi 3 B+
                      • Rasperian Stretch with Desktop and recommended software ( from https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/)
                      • Software update prior to installation

                      The initial script failed on dependancies and depracated packages. Just could not get it to work.

                      Today I followed the instructions on :

                      • The RPi 3 B
                      • Rasperian Stretch with Desktop ( from https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/ )
                      • no update

                      While I did get warnings, everything worked like a charm ( well - more or less - I forgot to copy the config.)

                      I know from another package ( https://octoprint.org/ - The OctoPi ) that some work needed to be done to support the RPi 3 B+ (Newer CPU ? Drivers ? Chipsets? - no really sure). Could this be the issue?

                      I will borrow his RPi 3 B+ and try again next week if no one else has comparables.

                        @alainchiasson said in MM2 my first try:

                        The initial script failed on dependancies and depracated packages. Just could not get it to work.

                        The installation script hasn’t been updated to handle some of the changes in the latest version of Raspbian. I would ignore it and follow the steps for a manual installation.

                            I too had the same problem with my attempt at installing the MM program. I found this on
                            https://www.w3schools.com/nodejs/nodejs_raspberrypi.asp. i used it as a long shot as i was running out of things to try. it worked and i now have MM up and running. I am using the AIY project file as install on raspberry pi 2.

                                @seramik - Warnings are just that: warnings. I usually ignore them and concentrate on errors. Errors will prevent your mirror from working.

                                This, OTOH, is important:

                                WARNING! Could not find config file. Please create one. Starting with default configuration.

                                To fix this, you need to copy the included sample configuration file to its final destination. This will become your working configuration file and what you will edit as you add modules.

                                cd ~/MagicMirror/config
                                cp config.js.sample config.js
                                

                                So now when you want to change the behavior of your mirror, you will edit the config.js file.

                                    i just buy wood for the frame, i need to cut, and glue that before painting
                                    the glass is ready
                                    i will try to put my picam behind the glass and i will try to have facial recognition just for fun

                                    i choose to put off my mirror every night with crontab fonction ( poweroff) and i decided to install a switch on RUN contact to put my mirror on

                                    the old TV is now ready too, plastik are away, i still dont know if i keep speakers or not,
