How to start smart mirror

@qu1que said in How to start smart mirror:
Take a look at your config.js file. At first installation, you have a file called config.js.sample. You must rename that file to config.js and try again.
The path to those files is: /home/pi/MagicMirror/config/
Thank you for your comment. I try this but it doens’t fix. Can I ask one more question
Does config file contain both config.js and config.js.sample files?
-
On a clean installation of MM, only config.js.sample exists, I think. You have to rename it to config.js and configure it as you wish. If config.js doesn’t exists, you can not watch anything on the screen of your mirror.
-
I would make a copy of the config,js,sample and rename the copy to config.js, leaving the sample file as a safety net in case something goes wrong when you start editing.

The installer should have done all this for you

Yes, always is a good idea to make a backup of a file before modified it :winking_face:
