        @neastman You must start with a full version of the OS that has the graphical desktop.
        MagicMirror uses a browser to display and all browsers display only in graphics mode

        if you had used my automated script it would have aborted warning you of text mode

          @neastman you CAN run text mode server

          npm run server
          

          and access the server from another system with a browser
          (provided you enable outside system access in the MM config.js )
          address, and ipWhitelist by default only allow apps INSIDE the same system to access mm
          (the MM design is for a self contained mirror on the wall of course)
