Run MM on Ubuntu 16 VM

Any idea why?

This is just a guess but I think I remember hearing that MagicMirror has to be installed in your Home directory. I see that you installed it in /home/christain/.
You can try the process again (if you want to) but install MagicMirror as soon as you open a new terminal. Don’t change directories.

I hope this helps

@Mykle1 still having the same problem :(

@pepemujica

Ok, someone will help you at some point. I don’t know if it matters but I’m running uBuntu 16.04 LTS, not as a VM

@pepemujica
run sudo npm install in MagicMirror

@Mykle1 Did you get this to work on your device running Ubuntu 16.04? I am trying this on an old tablet running Ubuntu Mate 16.04.

@rtlucht78

Yes, I have one laptop running ubuntu 16.04 and a netbook running ubuntu 14.04. Both are running MM

Hi @Mykle1 Thanks for the answer.
I’ve started following the instructions, but I get the following error:

Any idea why?

I have the same kind of issue on ubuntu 18.04, did someone fix it? When someone says that it doesn’t run out of the box, what does this means?

@Hriereb
Did you install “npm” and “node” as this sometimes isnt installed at ubuntu by default?

@axled yes I did but nothing changed. Do you have to make it work on a virtual machine? How to enable it on Ubuntu?
