      I set up the mirror on unbuntu 14.04 and when I type in npm start
      it gets as far as this:

      Starting MagicMirror: v2.1.0
      Loading config ...
      Loading module helpers ...
      No helper found for module: alert.

      Create new news fetcher for url: http://www.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/HomePage.xml - Interval: 300000
      

      Then just sits there … doesn’t load the mirror. Has anyone had this issue and if so how does one fix that? :)

        I don’t know what is going on there, but I have Ubuntu Desktop 16.04 (I think) at home and will give it a shot.

        Did you use manual install or script from the repo?

          @morozgrafix I manually installed it… because I got an error about not having a pi LOL
          I’m not using a pi for this… this is a mini-itx :)

          Looks like it’s loading it fine just not showing up…

            this doesn’t really help you, but this guy has the same issue on a PI :

                  @cowboysdude I managed to get it up and running locally on a super old system running Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS. I had some trouble starting electron via SSH when running DISPLAY=:0 npm start, but npm start worked just fine

                  Here is a list of steps that got it running (i’m running node v6.9.4 and npm v4.1.1):

                  sudo apt-get install git
                  git clone https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror.git
                  curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_6.x | sudo -E bash -
                  sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
                  node --version
                  curl -sL https://www.npmjs.com/install.sh | sudo -E bash -
                  npm --version
                  cd MagicMirror/
                  cp config/config.js.sample config/config.js
                  npm install
                  npm start
                  

                  Not sure if this will help. You can always try to run verbose mode npm start --verbose to see if there is any information that may lead you to finding a reason why it doesn’t start. It was very sluggish on my system, but this is a very old computer.

                  P.S. Sorry it took me a while to get to try it out and get back to you. It has been a very long and exhausting day.

                  Good luck.

                    @morozgrafix Thank you so much for this. I finally got it up and running following your method.
                    I did it on a Raspberry pi 3 and after adding in a few more sudo’s it worked!

                    sudo apt-get install git
                    sudo git clone https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror.git
                    sudo curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_6.x | sudo -E bash -
                    sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
                    node --version
                    sudp curl -sL https://www.npmjs.com/install.sh | sudo -E bash -
                    npm --version
                    cd MagicMirror/
                    sudo cp config/config.js.sample config/config.js
                    sudo npm install
                    npm start
