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I think the installation tutorial is pretty good, only outdated a bit.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.

@wdmark I “bugged” people when I couldn’t figure things out. Then you start to know what to look for. I am picking up my one way mirror tomorrow and will build in the next week or so. Just make sure you have a good working backup before trying to install a new module or changing the configuration of one you have working. It allows you to see what was working and prevents you from pulling your hair out.
