Hi, I’ve been testing Pimatic for a few years. Up to Pimatic Verion 0.9.42 everything went satisfactorily. Every further update always crashed my Pi. Many subsequent attempts to reinstall Pimatic have always failed miserably. It’s just inexplicable to me. Maybe it doesn’t work with the new operating system or everything doesn’t work on my Raspberry A in general. It would be really nice if the experts set a basic image for every Raspberry. After all, this also works with other systems. The entire configuration with all plugins can then be mastered even by inexperienced users. But I don’t even get the basic installation of Pimatic to play with. - Does the specified basic installation work on a Raspberry A with the new operating system? I would be very grateful if an expert could check it out. Not every user can overcome the cliffs of change. I would like to thank everyone who helps me and those who want to understand me.
A huge thank you for the smallest help

Basic installation on a Raspberry A repeatedly fails

Hi ufelet,
I also have had troubles to set up a new pimatic instance from the scratch using the “How to” guide in the wiki.
Nevertheless, I have managed to get it working. What in particular does fail with your installation?In my case: the NodeJS versions caused trouble during installation. Also, the instructions for autostarting pimatic did not work for me.

Thank you Arrowx,
So, as it is written, it does not work. In the network I have also read that you should use this or that version of Nodejs. I all tried these suggestions, but without success. Depending on the operating system and processor used, a very specific version of Nodejs is obviously required. Unfortunately, only the software developers know. I would already meet if the installation instructions would always be customized, or a basic installation for each processor would be made available.
Greetings Ufelet -
Hi,
try to follow this manual: https://pimatic.teamemo.com/Guide/Getting-Started -
Many Thanks. I probably found my mistake. I’ve always tried to install on an A +. That did not work. Now I’ve installed it on a B +. That went immediately. This µSD is now also running in the A +.
