@sdetweil Thank you for your response again. In my frustration I took a few days off and am now trying back at it…As far it not being a product and contributing, I understand very well and in what may be a feeble attempt did make remarks and suggestions for changes in a branch? off of the directions to include and/or remove certain information. On the Internet people can say or claim what they want whether truth or not but my intention is to not simply take what I can. I intend to contribute however I might, even if it is just monetarily. Unfortunately, I have not gotten very far and am still trying to figure out why.
In trying to simplify my life, I did as you suggested, changed the MagicMirror directory name and then tried an install from your script. After running the primary command
curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/raspberry.sh
I end up with a bunch of return code that ends with this (let me know if you need the full code it gives back)…
t -dpms
else
echo "lxsession screen saver already disabled" >> $logfile
fi
fi
fi
fi
echo " "
if [ $pm2setup -eq $true ]; then
rmessage="pm2 start MagicMirror"
else
rmessage="DISPLAY=:0 npm start"
fi
echo -e "\e[92mWe're ready! Run \e[1m\e[97m$rmessage\e[0m\e[92m from the ~/MagicMirror directory to start your MagicMirror.\e[0m" | tee -a $logfile
echo " "
echo " "
date +"install completed - %a %b %e %H:%M:%S %Z %Y" >>$logfile
pi@MagicMirror2:~ $
It takes a matter of seconds to return all this and therefore is evident that nothing actually was installed. To confirm I have no new MagicMirror folder in my system, at least that I can find. Not within the /home/pi folder nor further back within the root directory. So I am at a loss as to what I now need to do. I tried running some other command but it also told me that Magic Mirror was not installed…
echo
echo or git stash pop to restore them all
echo
echo WARNING..
echo WARNING.. either will overlay the file just installed by the update
echo WARNING..
if [ $set_username == $true ]; then
git config --global --unset user.name >>/$logfile
git config --global --unset user.email >>/$logfile
fi
fi
fi
# return to original folder
cd - >/dev/null
date +"Upgrade ended - %a %b %e %H:%M:%S %Z %Y" >>$logfile
else
echo It appears MagicMirror has not been installed on this system
echo please run the installer, "raspberry.sh" first
fi
Thank you for your time and assistance in the matter. I have no issue starting from scratch if needed. Please advise :exploding_head:
@BKeyport Understood…Makes sense and thank you! I feel a bit better now!
