Run MM on Ubuntu 16 VM

Ok, someone will help you at some point. I don’t know if it matters but I’m running uBuntu 16.04 LTS, not as a VM

@pepemujica
run sudo npm install in MagicMirror -
@Mykle1 Did you get this to work on your device running Ubuntu 16.04? I am trying this on an old tablet running Ubuntu Mate 16.04.
-
Yes, I have one laptop running ubuntu 16.04 and a netbook running ubuntu 14.04. Both are running MM

Hi @Mykle1 Thanks for the answer.
I’ve started following the instructions, but I get the following error:
Any idea why?
I have the same kind of issue on ubuntu 18.04, did someone fix it? When someone says that it doesn’t run out of the box, what does this means?

@Hriereb
Did you install “npm” and “node” as this sometimes isnt installed at ubuntu by default?AxLED
-
@axled yes I did but nothing changed. Do you have to make it work on a virtual machine? How to enable it on Ubuntu?

ok, I now have both Ubuntu versions 16.04 and 18.04 up and running…
I have Chrome, node.js, npm, & git installed…
I have MagicMirror installed…
Getting the following error with both versions…

Upgrade npm with
npm install -g npm@latest -

Why are you using sudo
npm start? You shouldn’t use sudo to install MM or run MM. That can lead to problems. Also, it shouldn’t matter but for the sake of conformity I always install MM in the home directory
