    I would format the laptop and install Unbuntu and run MM on that… I have a mini-itx with a 120G SD running Unbuntu and my 32" mirror… works well and you have the terminal window to install just as you would on a Pi… works great!

    It’s funny, because uBuntu is where this all started for me (See my story in Show Your MIrror) so I shouldn’t have much trouble backtracking to that

          @cowboysdude It was nearly that easy… on LTS 16.04 on an ancient Dell:

          sudo npm install (failed)
          sudo apt install nodejs-legacy
          sudo npm install (succeeded)
          npm start
          -> Please create a config.js file

          Thanks for the help!

          Well in doing this so much sometimes forget to add little extra instructions…sorry!

          Glad you got it working but it does work well!

            The fact that you refuse to give up means there is MUCH hope for you!! I think you’re doing quite well!!! Two months ago I wouldn’t even think to write a module… now I am working on them all the time… improving… tweaking… making new ones… I don’t release all of them but I make them :)

                Just wondering if it is possible to run the MM on this Banana Pi or on this ASUS Tinker Board and if any one tried that with good or bad results?

                  If there is a nodejs version around, the MM will run. Not out of the box, but it will

                      @Mykle1 I have it on my working laptop (ie Win10) - slight pain, since I have to launch MM & it runs in a console in the background, so I regularly worry what that is :) I dumped it onto an old laptop (which actually works with Ubuntu!) & that headache is gone… Now I just glance over into the corner & know what I am working on (i LOVE Wunderlist). So it does work on Win10 and Ubuntu.

                      Good luck
