      @ejay-ibm Yeah, works perfect if you keep to the ‘correct’ hardware and OS like Pi or ATB.

        @THeStigh Indeed, using it on a Rasp 3 b+ fully up to date.

          I was able to run MK2assistant but never managed to install Hotword.
          Is there a tutorial out there which shows me how to do it, absolute beginner style?

            I think the Readme here : https://github.com/eouia/MMM-Hotword/
            is pretty clear, that is what I followed and I have it working directly.
            check out the Tip section to include hotword in the mk2 assistant and you should be good.
            If you run into issue you can share your config file and I can have a look .

                    I am using a Raspi 3 B+ and latest release of Stretch and MagicMirror.
                    I am a newbie and though I tried all the troubleshooting tipps described I wasn’t able to install Hotword and snowboy.

                      @thedoorsfanatic Snowboy can be tricky, but @sean has made some good troubleshooting guides on the page for MMM-Hotword. But you can delete the MMM-Hotword folder and try to re-install it following these instructions to do it quite manually. If it fails, you at least will get a clear picture of where it actually failed:

                      cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/
                      sudo apt-get install libmagic-dev libatlas-base-dev sox libsox-fmt-all
                      git clone https://github.com/eouia/MMM-Hotword.git
                      cd MMM-Hotword
                      npm install
                      
                      cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Hotword/node_modules/snowboy
                      npm install --save-dev electron-rebuild
                      npm install nan
                      ./node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild

                          @ejay-ibm, @THeStigh i have installed MMM-Hotword. I hope correctly? as i got only warning via npm like

                          I am not sure how i can test it tho?
                          Or there is nothing to expect with only MMM-hotword installed?
                          (sorry if my question is stupid :) )

                                    @Mykle1, thx for your post. It appears that when i want to check npm version, the system issues :

                                    pi@raspberrypi:~ $ npm -v
                                    -bash: npm: command not found
                                    

                                    Therefore something went wrong during the system upgrade to stretch.
                                    If i am not wrong npm comes along with nodejs which i have current version

                                    pi@raspberrypi:~ $ nodejs -v
                                    v8.11.1
                                    

                                    I think i would just install it again but i don’t know if I should do it from /home/pi or from inside /home/pi/MagicMirror ?

                                          Hi @ejay-ibm, was a bit busy last days… couldn’t work on MM. I finally install both MMM-Hotword and Mk2. Works fine but need some fine tuning. Maybe you or anybody can guide/help me on the following:

                                          Mk2 side, i still need to understand how it works and how i can “interact” with the other modules… If you have a simple example to show how to “link” Mk2 with any other modules, it would be very helpful!
                                          As usual thx to all for always supporting the community!
