I am still a beginner but one of my best tipps so far:
Don’t use a cheap SD card and make constant backups.
For backups I use Win32DiskImager and WinSCP -
before doing anything mirror related, use the pi to turn on/off a light when u press a button…
learn how the pi works.

Get a cana kit. will include most of waht you need and has a very good quick setup guide to get you up an running

I think the installation tutorial is pretty good, only outdated a bit. Really, you’re only talking about 2 commands: The installation command for MagicMirror and the installation of dependencies command for MagicMirror. Installation of your OS is pretty straightforward, as well.
You will learn as you go along. I did, starting out with no prior knowledge of the Pi or coding. I second all the suggestions above. Don’t forget to have fun.
