      @Zelocked Can you expand on the log messages you receive? What versions of electron and node did you install?

        There’s a picture of the error log (can’t screenshot, ssh not working)
        I’m not sure how to check electron version.

          Let’s back up a bit. How did you install the Mirror on your Pi Zero? Which steps did you follow?

            I took notes of everything I did and all the complications. These are the exact steps I took, to the letter. This was about the sixth attempt at a fresh installation, and I’m at my wit’s end. Thank you sooo much for taking the time to help me and for being patient with me :)

              @Zelocked No worries. We all were where you are at some point. Let me take a look.

                  Heh. Well, I recognize which thread you used as a basis.
                  Okay, one last stupid question: Are you SSH into your Pi Zero, or are you working directly on it with it connected to a monitor right in front of you?

                    SSH wasn’t working, (hence the crappy pictures and retyped code in lieu of screenshots and copy pasting) so I’ve been working directly on my pi zero.
