      @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

                                            OK, so i am trying this again on a Pi Zero W

                                            I got stuck on Step 4
                                            so I ran:

                                            sudo apt-get remove nodered
                                            sudo apt-get remove nodejs nodejs-legacy
                                            sudo apt-get remove npm   # if you installed npm
                                            
                                            wget http://node-arm.herokuapp.com/node_archive_armhf.deb
                                            sudo dpkg -i node_archive_armhf.deb
                                            sudo apt-get install -y build-essential python-dev npm
                                            

                                            then again on Step 5 i got a ton of these:

                                            pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ sudo npm install
                                            npm WARN engine feedme@1.0.0: wanted: {"node":">=0.12"} (current: {"node":"0.10.29","npm":"1.4.21"})
                                            npm WARN engine grunt-eslint@19.0.0: wanted: {"node":">=4"} (current: {"node":"0.10.29","npm":"1.4.21"})
                                            npm WARN engine request@2.81.0: wanted: {"node":">= 4"} (current: {"node":"0.10.29","npm":"1.4.21"})
                                            npm WARN engine eslint@3.17.1: wanted: {"node":">=4"} (current: {"node":"0.10.29","npm":"1.4.21"})
                                            
                                            

                                            Are the updated steps or an Image that can be downloaded?
