UNSOLVED Error while loading shared libraries on new PI install

[ivow]

Hello all,
I’m new around the PI and linux overall so please be patient with my noobness. I’ve done some simple projects with the PI and am currently working on a MM.

From e clean raspberry I’ve followed the manual installation. All was installed but when starting MM I get a bunch of errors and the process is aborted.
I’ve done the install twice with the same result.

Can anyone point me to the right direction?

pi@PI-SERVER02:~/MagicMirror $ npm run start

magicmirror@2.17.1 start /home/pi/MagicMirror
DISPLAY=“${DISPLAY:=:0}” ./node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js

My log file looks like this

Appreciate the help.

@ivow sounds like u have the text/console mode pi os, not the desktop version

because the browser (electron) displays graphics, we need the desktop version

[ivow]

Yes I did install the lite OS . Wanted to run Raspberry Pi OS Lite to avoid all the overhead that comes with a Desktop version. I’ll install the desktop version and give it a try.

Thanks for your quick reply!
