Help getting Magic mirror running on Ubuntu Server 16.04.4 LTS as a SERVER

@j-lewis,
For some reason your config.js file is missing or inaccessible. Can you issue the command
ls -l /home/ubuntu/MagicMirror/config
and post the output. It would also be easier to help if you can post the content of the file /home/ubuntu/MagicMirror/config/config.js.

Entered the repository: cd ~/MagicMirror
Installed: sudo npm install

Installing dependencies for MM using sudo causes permissions problems

ubuntu@UbuntuMagic:~$ ls -l /home/ubuntu/MagicMirror/config
total 4
-rw-rw-r-- 1 ubuntu ubuntu 2615 Mar  6 20:19 config.js.sample
ubuntu@UbuntuMagic:~$ more /home/ubuntu/MagicMirror/config

*** /home/ubuntu/MagicMirror/config: directory ***

I think the issue is with the binding on NPM as it’s only binding to the localhost and not to the IP address of the machine.

[j-lewis]

@Mykle1 Correct. That was a typo as I was initially having install problems, so I removed the install and did it again without the sudo. The log/error above is after doing the install without the sudo. Sorry for any confusion!

I think the main issue is with the NPM binding… any idea how to fix that?

the file needs to be config.js, the existing file config.js.sample is just a sample and will be ignored
