Hi Jerryp

Thanks for response. If I shut RPi off it will reboot but not launch magic mirror. I am from USA, Boston area. SD card is brand new

thx

@bimmer
Ok… so the folder MagicMirror is on the PI.

in the terminal…

sudo npm install -g pm2
2.
cd ~
nano mm.sh
3.
cd ~/MagicMirror
DISPLAY=:0 npm start
4.
CTRL-O en CTRL-X
5.
chmod +x mm.sh
6.
sudo pm2 startup systemd -u pi --hp /home/pi
7.
now you can fire up the mirror
pm2 start mm.sh
8.
One command
pm2 save
9.
sudo reboot

Goodluck

JerryP

Som useful commands MagicMirror:

Restart the MagicMirror
pm2 restart mm
Stop the MagicMirror
pm2 stop mm
The Log of the MagicMirror showing
pm2 logs mm
MagicMirror proces info
pm2 show mm

Absolutely the best advice. Follow it. Or not, at your peril.
