      I have another question. How could i get into the terminal when the pi goes right into the browser? I cant ssh into it for some reason so is there anyway to exit the browser and go into the terminal?

        @SebTota Try CTRL+ALT+F2 (note: I have not tried this myself, but it works on other systems I use)

          Yet another question. I tried all other forums but i cant find my answer so I figured id ask here. If i have jessie lite with just the terminal, can I open up a file explorer to copy and paste a folder. I need to copy two folders over but I cant figure out how to do it.

              Did anyone get

              https://github.com/HackerHouseYT/AI-Smart-Mirror

              working on a pi zero. I know its made for a Mac but I`ve been trying somethings and cant succeed to replicate it on the Pi 0. People claim they got it working by following those instructions but im lost on how to install ffmpeg. If anyone got it working on the Pi 0 please share how.

                If i don’t currently have a monitor is there a way for me to test the output of the MM when running on the zero with Raspbian lite via VNC ?

                  @Mar if your running Jessie full you can SSH into the RPI and enable vnc

                    @SebTota yeah i realized that, but have a pi zero running lite as i dont require full. was hoping that if i did install vnc and all the dependencies if it would be possible to vnc in and see the mirror as it would in a monitor?

                        @SebTota Will do but first…
                        If i make a backup of my memory card and i mess up what im doing now can i just copy the backup back on with finder/explorer and be right back where i was?

                        thanks @SebTota
