Magic Mirror with AI

[Chris]

under which operating system is it possible to install it since a raspberry is not powerful enough?

A pc running a Linux operating system? if so, which one is the most suitable?

Regards,

@Chris You might be able to run a virtual machine host on Windows 7 Pro and then run this mirror instance as a VM. Most likely you’ll want to run Ubuntu 16.04 desktop or possibly a version of Debian. @akshaybahadur21 will have the details as to which one.

At work, we use a Debian 9.1.0 installation for slimmed down testing. It doesn’t take up much memory or resources at all.

Error while trying to run… notice the error at the bottom which says I need version 2.11 when I update it says I already have 2.11 yet this continues to say I don’t…

Has ANYONE got this to work yet?

[akshaybahadur21]

@bhepler @Chris I used Ubuntu VM. You guys can also do the same

[akshaybahadur21]

@cowboysdude I believe you have another application running on 8080. Try killing that app and restarting magic mirror. I never faced the issue

[cowboysdude]

I told you I do indeed have an apache server running on 80 so that’s not an option. I changed the bot.py file to 8091 so that shouldn’t be an issue. If it doesn’t work it’s just not going to work. I need my other server so taking it down is not an option. I have no issue running the mirror on 8090 and the server at the same time…it’s been running for months like that…

I’m pretty sure no one else has gotten this to work either… It as what I thought a month ago… a no go… I deleted it.
