      Hi all!

      I am very eager to create my first magic mirror. I recently got my hands on a Pi 0, and I saw a bunch of tutorials claiming that it can be done on the Zero. I quickly got to work setting it up and downloading packages.

      Twice I got stuck at the stage I am at now. When I try to boot MM from the terminal either nothing happens or I get a error. Or if I reboot into the mirror, I am able to see it booting but then it kicks me back to the desktop.

      I am very unaware what my issue could be at this point. Electron, NPM, and Node are installed and latest. Any suggestions?

        @lifetech just use the install script , see
        https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts

        best to start from a clean flash, with full desktop PI OS… buster(latest)

            @unfriendlydevice don’t care… use the latest stuff… many of the docs don’t get updated (that is 2017, 4 YEARS ago(

            jessie and stretch are too old

            use buster

            use my script… there are settings that MUST be done, and u won’t have them
            electron is not available for armv6l anymore

              @sdetweil The image uses Chromium and was last updated April 2020, not completely up to date but definitely not from 2017!

                  @sdetweil it was missing alot of dependencies and giving alot of errors when I tried before. Is it a good known install?

                    @lifetech my script is a good installer, and I will fix it if not. I support it on more platforms than MM supports
