      Hi Kurt,

      before you run npm start you need to change into the right directory. Default would be

      cd MagicMirror
      npm install
      npm start
      

      The npm install command 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 run DISPLAY=:0 npm start instead to tell the raspberry to use the display connected to the raspberry instead of the not working ssh connection

              @kurt WARNING! Could not find config file. Please create one. Starting with default configuration.

              are you sure you renamed the file correctly?

              cd ~/MagicMirror/config
              ls
              

              if not then copy the sample again

              cp config.js.sample config.js
              

              Please create a github issue if you need help, so I can keep track

                Thanks a lot once more!
                There was a point behind my “config.js” !
                I deletet that point and tryed again with
                DISPLAY=:0 npm start
                this is what happened:

                    I’m in the /home/pi/MagicMirror/config - file
                    Is this the wrong one?
                    and what does it mean “cd ~/Magic Mirror”

                      @kurt

                      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 directory

                      after that do DISPLAY=:0 npm start

                      Please create a github issue if you need help, so I can keep track
