      @bmarofsky I don’t recall such errors when I finally did things right to be honest.
      Like the error states, it might be because you’re behind a proxy or a firewall, in which case you should look further on the interweb for help, cause I can’t help you with that!

      If you aren’t however, I would recommend trying to update NPM to a newer version, as this topic on another forum says it helped for some people.

        @Wieber Thanks for the response wieber. Im actually using randombullets guide where he moves the file into the init.d folder.

        Thing is i cant get MM to run the server and use a laptop to connect to the pi@8080 and it shows the mirror. I can also run the following commands via SSH to get the MM running on the pi!!! …but i cant AT ALL get the MM window up on the pi automatically using the shell scripts.

        Its obviously running the server command as I can access via another computer on the network (which has access via ip whitelist in the config file)

        I just need to know why none of the commands after node serveronly arent executing?

            @Mar do you have access to a 16gb SD card or no? If not what size do you have/want to use.

              @SebTota I currently have a 32 in there but the final im hoping will go on a 16 at least. Will the file you’re sending over be a clean first install for the zero?

                @Mar it is an install or Raspbian lite with magic mirror for RPI zero. There is some other alterations but not much. Would you like me to share the file?

                  @SebTota Please I would appreciate that so much. Im on the verge of giving up and sticking with p3’s. I was really excited about being able to create a few mirrors with the cheaper board, so thanks again for sharing.

                    @Mar I’ll send you the link to the mega file download. You will have to unzip it and write the ISO file onto your SD card. I also have a version that has amazon Alexa built in but that takes a little bit of setup.

                      @SebTota Thanks so much!!! I’ll download it over night and try it in the morning and get back to you. Hopefully there is no difference between pi zeros?

                              @Mar Not quite old enough to take you up on that offer yet. :) Really glad to hear that its working. Like I said if anyone needs the image of just the MagicMirror, MagicMirror with Alexa, and hopefully soon MagicMirror with Jasper AI just let me know and I can send you a link to my download.

                                @SebTota Great job with all these Seb! Suppose I’ll drink your beer for you right now ;) I’d love to give the AI one a chance once everything is up and running.

                                    sorry for asking something that I can google, but I’m on lunch and trying to be quick. after I have everything up and running can I:

                                    dd if=/dev/sdf of=/functioning_mm_image.iso
                                    

                                    that way I only have to fiddle with a few config options for the rest of the mirrors that I’m making?

                                      @Wieber Thanks a lot for this tutorial! Now I have my Raspberry Pi 1 up and running with Magic mirror. … with some inspiration from https://maxkorlaar.com/post/?i=43&lang=en
                                      I also added the functionality to have the monitor to shut down when no one is using the mirror i.e. during night and when no one is at home! :)

                                        Do you still have the image you can share? I’m struggling to follow the guide here…

                                          I tried to follow your guide (which is really well explained) but for some reason I´m having a few errors at the last step…Could you share your “Magic Mirror” only image with me please?

                                            Hi there,
                                            I had the same problem and the I have realized that node serveronly was not launched.
                                            The problem is that the command :
                                            cd ~/MagicMirror was not working, so I have changed it for
                                            cd /home/pi/MagicMirror
                                            and that’s it.
                                            Hope this can help
