          @jmartin1009 if your mirror is not accessible from the internet I would not worry about these vulnerabilities.

            @sdetweil does that mean I can’t use any modules that use the internet? im using ssh to do these codes and I plan to use alexa and stuff with it so it will require internet use, so what did you mean by that?

              @jmartin1009 good point. I would run npm audit to get a list of the issues. These generally end up being challenging to solve completely.

                @sdetweil I ran the audit and then I ran the audit fix and I got this:

                found 23 vulnerabilities (8 low, 14 moderate, 1 high) in 2433 scanned packages
                  run `npm audit fix` to fix 13 of them.
                  8 vulnerabilities require semver-major dependency updates.
                  2 vulnerabilities require manual review. See the full report for details.

                  @jmartin1009 I would see what that 1 high priority issue is.

                  At the bottom it says some breaking changes required to fix one issue. Breaking changes mean other code needs to be changed. So I would stay away from that fix

                    @sdetweil I ran the audit again and I believe the fix I did fixed it, but it says I still have 11 vulnerabilities, which are:

                    pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ npm audit

                      As they are low or moderate risk, I would not worry about them.

                          @jmartin1009 correct, run MagicMirror
                          Copy the sample config to config.js and then fire it up!

                                    @sdetweil sorry for the late reply, but I was in fact able to get it to work :) I’m not trying to get my mic set up, so you know anything about the issues using a PS3 Eye Camera for the mic and how to get it to work properly? I can’t seem to get it to work on my Pi. Thank you for your help btw!
