help me any one

[Chethan]

@0m4r when am running in the server its working but when am try to run in the local its not working

[0m4r]

@chethan what is the Os you have installed it on? it it is the “lite” version it will not work. Electron requires a GUI interface to run

[Chethan]

@0m4r raspberry pi 4

[0m4r]

@chethan yeah, thanks, but what operating system?

[Chethan]

@0m4r

i dont know what is the software that is being fresher in this

[sdetweil]

@chethan are u running in desktop mode, or text mode command prompt.

must be desktop mode, electron requires graphics mode

[Chethan]

@sdetweil no am running my own Samsung desktop I connect raspberry to that display

[Chethan]

@sdetweil i give code on the pi cmd

[sdetweil]

@chethan sorry, dont understand samsung desktop.

using xwindows?

showing the temples background?

[0m4r]

@chethan
do you connect via ssh to your rasperry pi?
then use this:
DISPLAY=:0 nohup npm start

[sdetweil]

@0m4r npm start sets DISPLAY now so u dont have to do this.

i think he is running cli mode, no xwindows

[Chethan]

@0m4r yaa its working now but when am run the mmm google assistance i get this error
after complet all steps when am give this cmd

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-GoogleAssistant
node auth_and_test.js

internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:638

@sdetweil said in I get error in magic mirror when am installing the magic mirror the cmd: npm run start:

yes am running in the cli wifi

[sdetweil]

@chethan you must run in desktop mode if u want mm to display on the pi. the browser requires graphics

[0m4r]

@chethan I suggest you contact the module developer. Can’t help with it :)
