Read the statement by Michael Teeuw here.
used the amazing complete setup but after 'npm start'.....
-
@broberg the install of what? the entire process of the MagicMirrir?
-
@nem1 thanks for the feedback. My connection was OK during the installation
-
Yes, remove the entire magicmirror folder and run the install script again, for me the script stopped (without errors) several times,
Also, when you are trying to start it, do you try to start it via the LXterminal in the desktop environment or directly in the boot prompt?
-
I get a very similar error if I’m just running at the CLI. With the GUI running NPM START (from a local terminal window) is successful, I never did get it going from CLI.
I also never got PM2 to successfully work without manually kicking it off after the gui has launched.
I’ve taken about 4 runthroughs at the install, so at this point I’ve no idea what the issue is.

Here is what I would do as I’ve been in your shoes’
This is how I do it and I’ve done it close to 50 times.
Ignore everyone else for now. You will be starting from scratch. Again.
Go here and follow the Noobs install procedure. You want the full Noobs NOT Noobs Lite
https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/noobs/
When you boot this choose the first option (raspian) After it finishes
Dont add users or change anything else leave all defaults with the exception of the followingMake sure you set your localization, keyboard, wireless etc. by going to
Preferences -> Raspberry Pi Configuration
Open a terminal session
Your prompt should look like the followingpi@raspberrypi:~ $
copy and paste the following into a terminal. This is one line. accept any defaults if a question comes up.
curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/master/installers/raspberry.sh | bash
Now Copy and paste
cd /home/pi/MagicMirror
DISPLAY=:0 npm start dev
If you dont want the Console running omit “dev” from the end
I always start the MM using this method.

@nuckinfutz Hi. Thanks for the instructions. I’ve managed to run the MagicMirror. Now I just need to work on adjustments.
