        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

        Create a working config
        How to add modules

            @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.

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

                0_1490032831021_upload-627b7d7b-12f7-443e-b447-8750893adc5b

                0_1490032896329_upload-f0ae1e26-6c2e-4c9d-a476-149c808e2b85

                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?

                  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?

                      I have Chrome, node.js, npm, & git installed…

                      I have MagicMirror installed…

                      Getting the following error with both versions…

                        Upgrade npm with

                        npm install -g npm@latest
