    Still coming up with a blank screen. However no messages from the console. I am using the sample config file as well.

      @lagoon7 Yeah, I knew I forgot a step.

      After you clone the MagicMirror repository to your home folder, you need to install all of the dependencies. Type cd ~/MagicMirror followed by npm install and wait for it to install all the extra stuff for the MagicMirror framework. Once it’s done, type npm start and it should take over your screen and show you the interface.

        Hello all!

        I’m new to this forum.

        Looking for some information on how to install MagicMirror on a 32 bit Ubuntu (trying it on Ubuntu Mate) I saw someone installed it on a Pi.

        The question: Has anybody tried it on a 32Bit OS? Is the installation of MagicMirror still the same as 2 years ago?

        @lagoon7 did you get it working on Ubuntu Mate?

        cheers!

          It has been a while since I installed MM on a 32bit version of ubuntu but it definitely will work. When you have ubuntu settled on your device you’ll have to do a manual installation of MM. The install script will only work for the Pi2 and Pi3

          Here is MM running on 32bit ubuntu with Hello Lucy

            Thanks, I got it working on a NUC, (ubuntu 16.04.5) I’m now looking at adding modules to MM. While learning how to do that, I was overwhelmed with the information from Github :) .

            The installation of MM was easy once I got my Ubuntu install working. This one is a 64Bit though. I have a device with Atom CPU in it and will try to install the 32Bit Ubuntu next time as it was unsuccessful try last night.

            cheers!

              If that Atom CPU is 64bit then use the 64bit version of ubuntu. However, the 32bit version of ubuntu works quite well with MM. Have a look here. There’s a video link under the last picture. You can watch how well it works.
