I can't get any further and have no idea what it is! The installation process always stops when installing MagicMirror if «npm» is to be installed. An update from V. 8.5.5 to 8.10.0. All attempts to get this somehow failed, so I would like to ask for an explanation of how I can do the update.

how were you installing?

manual , npm install, or my scripted install?

after you flashed the os image, what else did you do before running mm install?

sdetweil avatar May 22 '22 21:05 sdetweil

I use Raspberry pi OS (Legacy) as the operating system. After flashing and setting up SSH, Lan connection, I used the links from the Github via SSH for the MM installation.

First I created the “Automatic Installation Scripts» Used, then "Manual Installation" and finally, Try the npm pre-install! I'm a total noub and just read through and try.

reflash setup ssh and then use the install script from here

does everything for MagicMirror

I got it to work on an 8GB micro SD, but not on the 4GB micro SD! Could it be the micro SD? I tried different ones and none worked.

no idea. all my SD cards are 16gb or above

df -k

will tell I how much disk is used

sdetweil avatar May 26 '22 11:05 sdetweil

It was probably due to the too small MicroSD 4GB. After I installed everything on a larger (16 GB) it went without any problems.
