      Alright, so this may seem beyond simple, but I have to ask…

      I’ve run through the install on a Pi2. The install gave me no problems. I go through the final reboot and…I’m looking at the Raspbian GUI.

      Can anyone suggest the (clearly extremely obvious) step that I must have missed?

        You mean, you miss the autostart feature?
        Did you follow the instructions mentioned in the read.me?

          No, I was actually using this setup guide here, which is less complete, but sure shows up in searches more often: https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/wiki/Jessie-Lite-Installation-Guide

          Now, however, I’ve gone through the setup you linked and and have ended up with:

          Check current Node installation …
          Node currently installed. Checking version number.
          Minimum Node version: v5.1.0
          Installed Node version: v6.4.0
          No Node.js upgrade nessecery.
          It seems like MagicMirror is already installed.
          To prevent overwriting, the installer will be aborted.
          Please rename the ~/MagicMirror folder and try again.

          If you want to upgrade your installation run git pull from the ~/MagicMirror directory.

          pi@pi:~ $ cd ~/MagicMirror
          pi@pi:~/MagicMirror $ git pull
          Already up-to-date.
          pi@pi:~/MagicMirror $ cd $HOME/MagicMirror
          pi@pi:~/MagicMirror $
          pi@pi:~/MagicMirror $ npm start

          magicmirror@2.0.0 start /home/pi/MagicMirror
          electron js/electron.js

            Actually, reran yet again and (possibly) looking better.

            Once my card reader stops acting oddly I’ll probably do a reinstall and start again from scratch. Maybe figure out where I went wrong.
