    @ramez Thanks Ramez, I was hoping someone might say that; don’t know who is the contributors to the main repository. Happy for a link to be passed, or for my repo to be placed back in the MM repo.

      @aidandon you will only need to cd MagicMirror and run node server only immediately after first install if you want it straight away. Otherwise when you reboot it will go automatically (after about a 1 minute or so wait)

        @andyc7687 Nice work. I think you should fork the MagicMirror repository, add merge your scripts with the installers/raspberry.sh script for direct implementation in the project.

          @idoodler Thanks for that advice, I have forked the original MagicMirror repo, but no idea how to merge scripts on github…

            @andyc7687 You need to do the following:

            • Clone your forked repository to your local machine
            • Adopt installers/raspberry.sh to include your Raspberry Pi Zero specific code
            • Commit and push your changes to Github
            • Test it on a Raspberry Pi Zero by execute bash -c "$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ac2799/MagicMirror/master/installers/raspberry.sh)"
            • Create a Pull Request on the original MagicMirror repository

            Just contact me if you need any help, I can also test your changes, I have a spare Raspberry Pi Zero W on hand.

              @idoodler Great! I think I may have done it! I have tested most of it I think on a Pi Zero W and on a Pi 3B+; is anyone able to check whether any of my changes have affected usability on the Pi 3B and Pi 2 before I submit the pull request?

                  @andyc7687 I just noticed, is this a server only installation?

                    @idoodler I didn’t really understand what was the difference between server only and not. This installs magic mirror, runs it as server only and runs three chromium browser on start-up to display it all… functionally I couldn’t tell the difference, but there might be something I’m missing

                      Pi 3B+ can run the normal magic mirror load file no need to include it in the server only script, just means you need the full fat OS on the Pi
