      i’m currently (trying) installing magicmirror onto my pi but i can’t ssh into it (keeps timing out) so i’m trying to download and install directly from the pi interface(correct term?) itself.
      i’m following this guide-https://www.magicmirrorcentral.com/complete-raspberry-pi-magic-mirror-tutorial/
      and i’m skipping step 5,when i type thisi nto the pi-bash -c "$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/master/installers/raspberry.sh)"nothing happens,i just get another line that says pi@mirror:~ $,any ideas what i’m doing wrong?

        @mrdenmark what kind of pi? how is it connected to your network? (You have to manually set it up the first time, unless you are wire connected)

        also, I recommend you use my updated installer
        see https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/10171/anyone-want-to-try-updated-installer

        which resolves a lot of install problems, creates a log,
        we are testing it, and once ready I will submit it to replace the current one

              Yep,has always worked for me in the past but it keeps timing out when I try.i can ping the pi no problem.it must be possible to install directly on the pi though without ssh?

                @mrdenmark you have to configure to start the ssh server manually… it is off by default

                if on the UI, ctrl-alt-t to open terminal window

                  The GUI isn’t installed,just the black screen with green writing,on that screen it says ssh is enabled,is that not correct?
