        It shows please create a config file.

        Are you sure it’s named config.js ?

        I just copied what you posted and it fired right up.

            Hello,

            You must to have config.js in this path : cd /MagicMirror/config!
            If you use Putty
            0_1502824906699_config.PNG
            If you use WinSCP
            0_1502825013524_WinSCP.PNG

            If it does not work. I advise you to copy the original config.js.

              };

              Did MagicMirror install without any errors?

                      @greda I use :

                      sudo mv /var/www/html/config/config.js.sample /var/www/html/config/config.js
                      
                      

                      to create my config file,and then reboot.

                        @AlexHpoin You should just be in the directory

                        ~MagicMirror/config
                        and type

                        cp config.js.sample config.js

                              @AlexHpoin At this point I would just start over.

                              There’s really no way of telling what happened. There seems to be an error of some kind, whether it’s file permission or something didn’t install correctly.
