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

@SebTota Great job with all these Seb! Suppose I’ll drink your beer for you right now ;) I’d love to give the AI one a chance once everything is up and running.

This post is deleted! -
sorry for asking something that I can google, but I’m on lunch and trying to be quick. after I have everything up and running can I:
dd if=/dev/sdf of=/functioning_mm_image.iso
that way I only have to fiddle with a few config options for the rest of the mirrors that I’m making?

@Wieber Thanks a lot for this tutorial! Now I have my Raspberry Pi 1 up and running with Magic mirror. … with some inspiration from https://maxkorlaar.com/post/?i=43&lang=en
I also added the functionality to have the monitor to shut down when no one is using the mirror i.e. during night and when no one is at home! :) -
@SebTota
Do you still have the image you can share? I’m struggling to follow the guide here… -
I tried to follow your guide (which is really well explained) but for some reason I´m having a few errors at the last step…Could you share your “Magic Mirror” only image with me please?

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)? -
