    Hi everyone!
    I’m looking foward to start developing the MM, but at the moment in my country I can’t get a raspi.

    Is it any chance to start trying on a ubuntu 16 VM?

    Kind regards

      Of course. You can also run it on a Windows machine or a Mac. It won’t run “out of the box” as it does on raspbian, but it works

          Follow the Manual Installation instructions on this page: About half way down the page:
          https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror

          It worked for me. I installed uBuntu on a laptop and then installed MagicMirror using those directions.

            Hi @Mykle1 Thanks for the answer.
            I’ve started following the instructions, but I get the following error:

            0_1490032831021_upload-627b7d7b-12f7-443e-b447-8750893adc5b

            Any idea why?

              This is just a guess but I think I remember hearing that MagicMirror has to be installed in your Home directory. I see that you installed it in /home/christain/.
              You can try the process again (if you want to) but install MagicMirror as soon as you open a new terminal. Don’t change directories.

              I hope this helps

                  Ok, someone will help you at some point. I don’t know if it matters but I’m running uBuntu 16.04 LTS, not as a VM

                      @Mykle1 Did you get this to work on your device running Ubuntu 16.04? I am trying this on an old tablet running Ubuntu Mate 16.04.
