    Hi Kurt,

    before you run npm start you need to change into the right directory. Default would be

    cd MagicMirror
npm install
npm start

    The npm install command only needs to be run first time after you downloaded the MagicMirror package. If you have already done that you can skip this step.

    Are you working on your raspberry? Or are you connected via ssh?
    If you are connected via ssh you need to run DISPLAY=:0 npm start instead to tell the raspberry to use the display connected to the raspberry instead of the not working ssh connection

  • @kurt WARNING! Could not find config file. Please create one. Starting with default configuration.

    are you sure you renamed the file correctly?

    cd ~/MagicMirror/config
ls

    if not then copy the sample again

    cp config.js.sample config.js

    Thanks a lot once more!
    There was a point behind my “config.js” !
    I deletet that point and tryed again with
    DISPLAY=:0 npm start
    this is what happened:

    pi@raspberrypi:~ $ DISPLAY=:0 npm start
npm ERR! Linux 4.4.38-v7+
npm ERR! argv "/usr/bin/nodejs" "/usr/bin/npm" "start"

    I’m in the /home/pi/MagicMirror/config - file
    Is this the wrong one?
    and what does it mean “cd ~/Magic Mirror”

  • @kurt

    your logs show what you are not in /home/pi/MagicMirror/config with the terminal console

    if you type in that command you will be in the correct directory cd means change directory

    after that do DISPLAY=:0 npm start
