Hi Kurt,
before you run
npm startyou need to change into the right directory. Default would becd MagicMirror npm install npm startThe
npm installcommand only needs to be run first time after you downloaded the MagicMirror package. If you have already done that you can skip this step. -

Are you working on your raspberry? Or are you connected via ssh?
If you are connected via ssh you need to runDISPLAY=:0 npm startinstead to tell the raspberry to use the display connected to the raspberry instead of the not working ssh connection -
I’m working via ssh, I can see the starter Logo, but thats’it

@kurt you are in the wrong directory again
cd ~/MagicMirror -
I’m in the /home/pi/MagicMirror/config - file
Is this the wrong one?
and what does it mean “cd ~/Magic Mirror” -
your logs show what you are not in /home/pi/MagicMirror/config with the terminal console
if you type in that command you will be in the correct directory
cd means change directoryafter that do
DISPLAY=:0 npm start
