Just discovered that I have two installs of MM one in /home and one at /home/carltonb. Have to figure out why it is installed twice. When I did the bash for the install command I may not have specified directories. I will try again in a few hours.

Back home and started again.
Ran npm start in the /home/carltonb/MagicMirror directory here is the result

carltonb@clock:~/MagicMirror $ npm start

> magicmirror@2.2.2 start /home/carltonb/MagicMirror

Followed cowboydude instructions for installing. This time it took about 10 minutes to install MM.
What is my next step.
Also thank all of you for taking the time to help a poor soul out.

@cruunnerr Tried your method on step 10 it took almost 90 minutes to finish!!!
I then went to the page on Auto Starting. Followed the directions. Rebooted.
MagicMirror screen flashed for about 3 seconds, then it went to the desktop for another 3 to 4 seconds then it stopped at the command line.
If I run the logs it tells me

What step did I miss. It seems not to find the sh run-start.sh file. I am now so confused.
I will see how this sorts out over the weekend and will wait until Monday to try again.

@cruunnerr said in Failed at the magicmirror@2.2.2 start script ‘sh-run-start.sh’:

VNC

No NPM install or other necessary pi setup as listed on the site at Configuring the Raspberry Pi?

I too am keeping abreast of this. I have had 5 installs that went so well that after the update, I can not get it installed.
Are we the only ones having problems.
Do the install directions need to be changed. Luckily I have backed up every sd card so I am safe, but need to figure out if I do anything to them now (besides the MM upgrade) will they crash.

I too have the same problems. In another thread started a few days ago because I have the same issues.
Started with Stretch, then went back to an old Jessie Lite version.
I have done the automatic install, the manual install, as root and not as root.
All fail at the same place. I currently have 5 MM running on PI3, then the update came and tried on one device when it crashed. I will not touch the others until this is resolved.
If someone fixes this can they post the steps they used and a link to the image that they used as well.
This is getting very frustrating. All my mirrors went together in a matter of an hour or so with no problems. Setting the modules and css is another thing though.
Any help is very much appreciated.

@Mykle1 Since as you said the OS makes no difference to me. So …
This is the file I d/l
2017-07-05-raspbian-jessie.zip 05-Jul-2017 13:05 1.5G
Install went fine, but again crashed when I tried to use this command. It crashes at the same point every time. See the file generation after I start the installer in the first post.

Get and install MagicMirror with the Automatic Installer:

curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/master/installers/raspberry.sh | bash

Might there be something wrong script that is trying to install it.
Is there another way to install it without using the Automatic Installer script.

carltonb

@Mykle1 Thanks, I will give it a try. Interesting that I have used the stretch version on 4 setups with no problem. Must be with the new version 2.2 that it has issues.
I will let you know the results.
carltonb

After a bunch of searching I finally found it at https://downloads.raspberrypi.org/raspbian_lite/images/raspbian_lite-2017-07-05/
Had to do a lot of digging. Seems it is outdated by strech.
Thanks

Pardon my ignorance but where would I find Jessie Lite. On the Pi website download all I am offered is this RASPBIAN STRETCH LITE or the version with the desktop.
