      Not a YouTube, but perhaps this can help you:

              Hows it going? I myself is a total amateur also, so I can relate to the struggle. :D

                    Don’t feel bad a couple months ago I was a total noob at this too.

                    Here’s what I did… I read… alot. If you get an error either come here and ask OR look it the exact error on the internet… you’d be shocked to find how many times that error has happened :)

                    Next do this -> GO HERE…

                    https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror

                    There are two sets of instructions…
                    *Easy install

                    • Manual install -> I found that this worked best for me…

                    Remember it’s not a race, take your time… drink a coffee and relax. We’ll do what we can to help get you there.

                    IF you have questions or find you just can’t figure it out we’ll help you :)

                    Rule #1… ALWAYS…ALWAYS…ALWAYS… DO THIS BEFORE YOU CHANGE YOUR CONFIG.JS FILE
                    If you have a working config.js file before you make ANY changes to it ----->

                    cd ~/MagicMirror/config
                    cp config.js config.bak
                    

                    That way if you have any issues when you make changes you have a backup to look at to see where you went wrong or you can just delete the config.js file and …

                    cp config.bak config.js

                    Then it’s working again! :)

                    NEVER delete the config.js.sample file… in the beginning I found this to be VERY helpeful to reference.

                    Common mistakes in config.js files… missing commas or missing { }

                    As for install issues they happen… generally [and don’t get offended please]
                    because something gets skipped.

                    @MichMich has done an excellent job with the instructions on that page so they do work very well.

                    Hang in there… :)

                      What helps if you have issues with your config file is to pass it into http://jshint.com.
                      It should give no errors, other than one minor warning which probably states:

                      One undefined variable
                      	module
                      

                      All other errors should be fixed before your config is able to work properly.

                        @cowboysdude @MichMich Hey guys. Thx for ur posts, was more than a little inspiring and I didnt know about jshint.com. :)

                        I actually have the MM up running at this point, working out the details with a nice oak frame atm.

                        My last issue is that I want to be able to display more than just 1 news post at the time in the feed (and preferebly no fade involved either, just static news posts that updates every now and then).

                        Im currently trying some really shady stuff utilizing the php script from the original MagicMirror. So Im fucking around with jquery/ajax and a call to an external php script file with that old newsfeed script in it - and I will try to put it in the index.html of the MM2. Might work, might not. Either way I learn something along the way.

                        Sorry, @MichMich Im sure you really dont want to hear this kind of unresponsible way of “modding” the MM, but I do what I can at my skill-level. :) And btw, great job with the MM2 package! LOVE it.
