I am getting the below errors when trying to run your installer script, thoughts?

bash: line 18: $‘\r’: command not found
bash: line 20: $‘\r’: command not found
bash: line 27: $‘\r’: command not found
bash: -c: line 28: syntax error near unexpected token $'{\r'' 'ash: -c: line 28: trim() {

@sdetweil said in Help With 2.8 Install?:

bash -c “$(curl -sL https://www.dropbox.com/s/rlh710ng0zwv3vp/raspberry.sh?dl=0)”

I saw your other post. What is different between yours and the official one?

I had MagicMirror 2.7 installed and it was working fine. I hadn’t gotten very far along with it when I upgraded to 2.8 and it black screened on me. I know that there are some threads discussing this but I decided to wipe everything and start over.

I have a completely fresh and updated Raspbian install and when I run the installer script I get the following errors.

Any help with these errors or help installing 2.7 appreciated, Thanks.

I know that the last thing it says it is launching the app but a white screen with the developer console opens with the error “Dev tools was disconnected from the page…”

MagicMirror will not quit, but it might be a good idea to check why this happened. Maybe no internet connection?
If you think this really is an issue, please open an issue on GitHub: https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/issues
Launching application.

THe config file does not contain syntax errors.

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ npm run config:check

> magicmirror@2.8.0 config:check /home/pi/MagicMirror
> node tests/configs/check_config.js

Checking file...  /home/pi/MagicMirror/config/config.js
Your configuration file doesn't contain syntax errors :)
pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ 

I can, should I run that from the config file?

I will say though that it worked before the upgrade and I tried the config.js.sample file and it didnt work.

I am having the same issue but doing npm install in all of the modules folders doesn’t resolve it. Any other thoughts?

Is this still working for you? I installed it and used the credentials that I use in the app but the module is stuck on loading.
