        I installed the raspbian OS via copying files to the sd card. Here is the board version: Pi Model 4B V1.1. I installed the program via these instructions: https://docs.magicmirror.builders/getting-started/installation.html#manual-installation.

          @droidus and the os is the full version w desktop, right?

          rename the MagicMirror folder to some other name, and use my install script

          see https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts

                  @droidus what display are u using on the pi?

                  must have something, running in graphics mode, not text mode.

                  do u see the temples when u boot the pi?

                  do

                  echo $DISPLAY
                  DISPLAY=
                  

                  then

                  npm start

                        I get the same error as before about a magic-cookie.
