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

@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

pm2 restart mm
Stop the MagicMirror
pm2 stop mm

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