      @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.

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