Ubuntu 18.04 install issues
-
Hello,
I’m new to Magic Mirror and having some install issues. I’m trying to install Magic Mirror on Ubuntu 18.04 within a virtual environment. Doesn’t seem to matter what I do I run into dependency issues. Is there a way to install all the dependencies without having to go one by one or have I missed a step?
-
Just to circle back up I kept getting errors trying to install in a VM on Ubuntu so I decided to install another VM for a raspi desktop and followed the manual installation process without any issues.
Now time to make some modifications and figure out how to display the VM onto a stand alone monitor.

@jtmoore81 I have the same issue, did you fix it? And how?
-
@hriereb I had to install the Debian Stretch (Raspi Desktop version) as a Virtual Machine. Then follow the manual install instructions.After that it is seems to be working well.

@jtmoore81
Did you install “npm” and “node” as this sometimes isnt installed at ubuntu by default?AxLED

@axled I did install them but kept getting dependency errors and figured there had to be a better way.

@jtmoore81 How to use a virtual machine on Ubuntu 18.04? Sorry for the silly question but i’m totally new to this.
-
@hriereb No worries. I’m still trying to figure it out myself. The way I have setup up my system was to add Hyper V Manager to my windows system. Then you can install different OS under the Hyper V system. You can use just about any virtual management system you want, I chose Hyper V because it available on my windows 10 system. It should act just as a stand alone system. I installed the Raspberry Pi Desktop OS and set it up as you would if it were on a raspi.

Thanks mate, now everything seems clear, but I have a system with a dual boot (win 10 and ubuntu 18.04) and I wanted to make it work directly on Ubuntu but I get the same errors you posted. -
@hriereb Sorry I couldn’t help with those errors.
