How I got my Magic Mirror working on a Raspberry Pi 0 (zero)

@Mar
Hi there,
I had the same problem and the I have realized that node serveronly was not launched.
The problem is that the command :
cd ~/MagicMirror
was not working, so I have changed it for
cd /home/pi/MagicMirror
and that’s it.
Hope this can help -
OK, so i am trying this again on a Pi Zero W
I got stuck on Step 4
so I ran:sudo apt-get remove nodered sudo apt-get remove nodejs nodejs-legacy sudo apt-get remove npm # if you installed npm wget http://node-arm.herokuapp.com/node_archive_armhf.deb sudo dpkg -i node_archive_armhf.deb sudo apt-get install -y build-essential python-dev npm
then again on Step 5 i got a ton of these:
pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ sudo npm install npm WARN engine feedme@1.0.0: wanted: {"node":">=0.12"} (current: {"node":"0.10.29","npm":"1.4.21"}) npm WARN engine grunt-eslint@19.0.0: wanted: {"node":">=4"} (current: {"node":"0.10.29","npm":"1.4.21"}) npm WARN engine request@2.81.0: wanted: {"node":">= 4"} (current: {"node":"0.10.29","npm":"1.4.21"}) npm WARN engine eslint@3.17.1: wanted: {"node":">=4"} (current: {"node":"0.10.29","npm":"1.4.21"})
Are the updated steps or an Image that can be downloaded?

I’m also trying to install Magic Mirror on a Pi Zero W.I think one reason for the problems might be that as far as I can tell
sudo wget http://node-arm.herokuapp.com/node_latest_armhf.deb sudo dpkg -i node_latest_armhf.deb
got me node v4.2.1 which is quite outdated (the regular installer of MM2 updates nodes if the version of node is below 5.1.0).
I therefore tried to install a more recent version of node following the commands here
https://github.com/sdesalas/node-pi-zero
However, the compilation of Magic Mirror worked neither with node 7.7.1 nor with node 6.9.1.Before I go into details, did anybody got Magic Mirror working on Raspberry Pi Zero W?
Which node version (and npm version) did you use and how you he install it? Which browser did you use (I read that Midori has some problems)? -

I could fix my issue with the blank screen by simply doing
cd ~/MagicMirror/vendor npm install
Then it seem to work (even with the node v 4.2.1). Nevertheless I will try to update to a more recent version of node, just to avoid other problems that are likely to exist in this old node version.

Hi! I have followed this guide step by step and so precisely, however I am still getting an error when I type in
DISPLAY=:0 npm start
through SSH. This is the output:pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ DISPLAY=:0 npm start > magicmirror@2.1.1 start /home/pi/MagicMirror > sh run-start.sh /home/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules/electron/dist/electron: error while loading shared libraries: libXss.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory npm ERR!

Any help on what to do to solve this would be greatly appreciated!
