    I didn’t try your way of starting the MagicMirror. However, is there a reason that you don’t use the commands in the guide to start the MagicMirror (using the start.sh and startMidori scripts)? There is no DISPLAY=:0 npm start mentioned in this thread.

        have you tried just using “npm start” in ssh? That works for me.

            no, that is definitely not necessary.

            I don’t know the reason for the error message (is there actually a space between localhost: and 8080?). What happens if you run

            cd ~/MagicMirror
            node serveronly &
            

            manually?

              Automating the process is fairly simple but let’s get you up and running first. You should also check your permissions in the config.js file. Make sure that your whitelist is properly configured.

                @RV Hi, I don’t know if it can help, but I have noticed that the “~” shortcut to go tho the /home/pi folder does not work on the scripts.
                So when you do the same commands manually everything seems to be OK, but when you run the scripts then you get a bug.
                The solution, in my case, was to replace all the folder shortcuts (as ~ for home folder) with the complete explicit path inside the scripts.
                Good luck

                  @braik as i said before i am not that experienced with Python, Linux or what so ever. I think you are right on this one. When i typed cd /home/pi/ i didn’t get a response or anything.

                  I hope you can show me how to replace the folder, like you have told me before.

                    This sounds strange. Did you type it in the unit terminal? cd is the comand to change directory. Maybe you have already been in the /home/pi/ directory (than the change would have no effect). Could you type pwd (print working directory)
                    and give the result before and after the cd /home/pi/ command and give the results?
