      MagicMirror will not quit, but it might be a good idea to check why this happened. Maybe no internet connection?

        @dearco said in Error with launching the magic mirror Applicants. it said i need to create a config file.:

        EADDRINUSE

        That usually means that something else is running on port 8080. Maybe you have two instances of MM running?

          And there is a problem with your config. This should help.
