Raspberry Pi 1 - Any Magic Mirror Setup Possible?

@mbalfour thanks a lot
I will follow your guide and I will be showing the problems I find:
The first is that when I try to install the chromium browser:sudo apt-get install chromium x11-xserver-utils unclutter Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Package chromium is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source However the following packages replace it: chromium-inspector chromium-bsu E: Package 'chromium' has no installation candidate

hi
I followed this steps:
wget https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/87113035/chromium-browser-l10n_45.0.2454.85-0ubuntu0.15.04.1.1181_all.deb wget https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/87113035/chromium-browser_45.0.2454.85-0ubuntu0.15.04.1.1181_armhf.deb wget https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/87113035/chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra_45.0.2454.85-0ubuntu0.15.04.1.1181_armhf.deb sudo dpkg -i chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra_45.0.2454.85-0ubuntu0.15.04.1.1181_armhf.deb sudo dpkg -i chromium-browser-l10n_45.0.2454.85-0ubuntu0.15.04.1.1181_all.deb chromium-browser_45.0.2454.85-0ubuntu0.15.04.1.1181_armhf.deb
finally chromium browser seems to install correctly but when open it does not work and is not displayed

Hm, the post that @jmadero links to is from Jan, but I installed Chromium just a few weeks ago successfully. Did you run this first before trying to install chromium?
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y
This step is necessary for making sure you’ve got the latest repository lists, I think.
Also, when you open the chromium browser that you did install, what exactly happens? Does the browser itself not work, or are you not seeing the MagicMirror page? Once again, please be specific!

the pi is fully updated
does not come out anything on the screen, it seems that it is running but nothing shows up, I put a video sample:

Chromium isn’t necessary. I use Midori and execute “midori -e Fullscreen -a http://localhost:3000”
