    hi thx for that.
    i now have mm installed as per your instructions i can open the config and everything else but still cant get the mm display.you asked to see the install log but permission was denied.
    i am finding it difficult to understand why matters seem more complicated which makes everything more daunting especially after having an up and running mm which was ruined by me installing out of date info.
    i am at a loss as to what to do next other than to sell everything.
    regards,
    geo

      @geo are you running MagicMirrorOS? and not the raw MagicMirror app on raspian?

      you did NOT use sudo when u ran the install, correct?

          @geo so, it still makes no sense

          you open a terminal window, ctrl-alt-t, and the install.log should be right there

          u have to edit it,
          nano install.log
          or type it
          cat install.log

            @geo said in installing mm:

            i am at a loss as to what to do next other than to sell everything.

            It may take a little time and a few attempts but follow @sdetweil’s directions and he will help you get it running.
