Error while loading shared libraries on new PI install

ivow

Hello all,
I’m new around the PI and linux overall so please be patient with my noobness. I’ve done some simple projects with the PI and am currently working on a MM.

From e clean raspberry I’ve followed the manual installation. All was installed but when starting MM I get a bunch of errors and the process is aborted.
I’ve done the install twice with the same result.

Can anyone point me to the right direction?

pi@PI-SERVER02:~/MagicMirror $ npm run start

magicmirror@2.17.1 start /home/pi/MagicMirror
DISPLAY=“${DISPLAY:=:0}” ./node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js

My log file looks like this

Appreciate the help.

@ivow sounds like u have the text/console mode pi os, not the desktop version

because the browser (electron) displays graphics, we need the desktop version

ivow

Yes I did install the lite OS . Wanted to run Raspberry Pi OS Lite to avoid all the overhead that comes with a Desktop version. I’ll install the desktop version and give it a try.

Thanks for your quick reply!
