The port is
:8080 -
Thank you!!! I just ran the npm start - and it looks like …something… happened? I now have a large blank empty black screen (mouse still usable and I can get to task manager) so … maybe its trying to work?
-
Hiding of the mouse was part of the install directions but a black screen with no message “Create a config?”
-
Another mini update - its now accessible on other computers on my network (going to localhost:8080) just still sitting with a black screen on my pi

@Mykle1
Yes, it would, if the mirror is black, then going to it using a browser will only see black as well -
can you get to the terminal and post any errors here. Copy them and paste them in here
-
Yep I have a mouse and… nothing else. I dont have a create a config message - just a blank black screen and full mouse clickability? just checked the terminal thanks to task manager and it looks like there arent any errors

Scroll back to the info in the terminal till you see the npm start command you made to run the mirror. Copy everything after that and paste here
-
Put a tick before you paste it and at the end of the paste. The tick is your TILDE key (without shift)
