      Greetings from Toulouse. To do the update and upgrade, from the terminal type:

      sudo apt-get update
      sudo apt-get upgrade

      After the installation of the new updated packages, sudo shutdown. Wait. Remove the power and your edimax adapter and connect power. Now does it work?

        Silly me! I should have known that to get a wifi adapter to work I needed a wifi adapter!
        Fortunately I had a usb splitter with power supply and an edimax wifi lying around.

        After the update and upgrade its working well.
        Your help was greatly appreciated.
        Thanks from Texas!

            @rootsudo said in MagicMirror on Pi Zero W:

            The Beginnings:

            1. Place wpa_supplicant.conf in Boot folder of SD card
            2. Boot SD card and login
            3. Enable SSH: sudo raspi-config -> Select Interfacing Options -> select SSH -> select Enable -> select Finish

            After step 4 i recommend creating an empty file called “ssh” and also put it in the Boot folder of the SD card.
            So you don’t have to do step 6, cause ssh is started on boot with the default credentials (user: pi, password: raspberry)

            After boot, it did not open the browser, instead it just showed the console window.
            Problem was solved by installing x-server with sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg

                      Warnings don’t necessarily mean that your mirror won’t work. Have you tried to run it after?

                      One thing to note: Installation of dependencies using sudo can, and often does, cause problems. So, in the future, simply use npm install without sudo

                      Updating your node should clear 4 of those 5 warnings

                        I’m currently trying to do this with Debian Stretch, but the noobs image.
                        Anyway, the update.rc (command 18) doesn’t work here correctly, because they switched to systemd instead of system-V. There is no error, but the command doesn’t get added to the startup.
                        Replace the file content from step 14 to:

                        #! /bin/bash
                        ### BEGIN INIT INFO
                        # Provides:          startMagicMirror
                        # Required-Start:    $all
                        # Required-Stop:
                        # Default-Start:     2 3 4 5
                        # Default-Stop:
                        # Short-Description: Start MagicMirror software
                        ### END INIT INFO
                        cd /home/pi/MagicMirror
                        node serveronly &
                        sleep 45
                        sudo xinit /home/pi/startMidori.sh
                        

                        After this, replace the command 18 with:

                        sudo systemctl enable startMagicMirror.sh
                        

                        This should lead to the following output:

                        startMagicMirror.sh.service is not a native service, redirecting to systemd-sysv-install.
                        Executing: /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install enable startMagicMirror.sh
                        

                        After this continue with the manual.

                        It currently only shows a white screen in my case, but I have just started and maybe that’s even normal, haven’t gotten that far yet in the manual.
