      why he’s looking for /home/pi/package.json then it is /home/pi/MagicMirror/package.json ?

      This is my log

        In which directory did you execute npm start
        ? I would assume you would first go to your MagicMirror directory (cd /home/pi/MagicMirror ). This would also explain the problem with the missing package.json file.

        However, I’m not sure if npm start works at all in combination with the serveronly mode (needed for the Pi Zero). For starting, I use the method described in the first post of this thread in the section “Setting up boot scripts”.

        I can acccess my MM from remote, however still didn’t get it to show in the Midori browser :-/

          as you said I was not in the right record.
          I had an error with the libnss3 library. Now more error

          DISPLAY =: 0 npm start

          magicmirror@2.1.3 start / home / pi / MagicMirror
          sh run-start.sh

          pi @ raspberrypi ~ / MagicMirror $ npm run config: check

          magicmirror@2.1.3 config: check / home / pi / MagicMirror
          node tests / configs / check_config.js

          Checking file … /home/pi/MagicMirror/config/config.js
          Your configuration file not containt syntax error :)

          but it still does not work with midori

              @noorm91 npm start is the command to start the Magic Mirror application and display the interface on the screen.

                I can’t seem to start MM with npm start, tried through SSH and directly on rpi with keyboard.

                pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ DISPLAY=:0 nohup npm start &

                ^C
                [1]+ Exit 1 DISPLAY=:0 nohup npm start

                pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $
                pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ npm start

                  Thats what I expected for the Pi Zero. Did you try the method described in the first post of this thread in the section “Setting up boot scripts”?

                      Can you tell me which Linux distribution (lsb_release -a), node version ( node -v ) and version of MM you are using?

                        Hi guys, I saw someone asked before, isn’t there anyone who has a working image for MM2 on a Pi Zero. I tried a lot of things before, cant get it to work. Now, I don’t have a lot of time to experiment with it, school and work are killing me. My mirror is lying around, unused. Please help me out here,
                        Thanks!!
