    I have the same error - running it on a headless Pi3 (ie I Putty in from elsewhere and monitor the output from elsewhere too).
    I have been told that I should not run MM from the CLI, but rather that "The application needs to be started while the GUI-environment is running.’

    Can you please confirm if you are running ON THE PI directly or if you SSH’ed in?

        Hey there!

        You should not install MagicMirror as Root in the /root directory.

        check out this:
        https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/259/installing-mm2/10

        I think it is the same issue.

        @Bangee said in Installing MM2:

        as I c, you’ve installed your MagicMirror in the /root directory.
        I’m not sure if this is working so far.

        Try to install everything as pi and not as root in the /home/pi directory and let us know what happend.

        try whoami -> pi

        update your distribution with sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

        then cd /home/pi or only cd

        and install again: curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/master/installers/raspberry.sh | bash

              I found this one
              https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/236/complete-setup-tutorial/2
              and it worked like a charm… (and it it so detailed even I could not mess it up)

              On top of that, it is lean and made my WiFi FINALLY work too. Now all I need is the toaster attachment to my Pi

              Best of luck!
