    @ostfilinchen I was just using the standard install script that comes on the tutorial.

    curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/master/installers/raspberry.sh | bash

        hey there
        @ostfilinchen that’s it. to start npm from my shell it need to use this command:
        DISPLAY=:0 npm start dev

        But with this I can not debug my script. Electron crashes alwasy on startup when I’ve activated my new module using const sensorLib = require('node-dht-sensor') in my node_helper.js

        How can I debug this error?

          OK i think i’ve solved it. magic mirror HAS to be started (npm start) from a terminal window in the x-window server. you cannot start it over ssh.

            @shavesophere Thank you. This at least got me to the point where I can show the display on a monitor. Now I just have to walk to the other room to see my changes. :/

              Not true. It can be started over SSH just fine: DISPLAY=:0 npm start

              A Life? Cool! Where can I download one of those from?

                  Well yeah, that’s different. If npm is giving you errors, no matter how you attempt to start it, the errors won’t magically go away. That’s like saying, the car won’t start if I’m sitting on the left side, maybe if I sit on the right side it might, but in reality there’s no gas in it. Switching seats isn’t going to fill the gas tank. :)
