npm start dev doesn't work


  • When I try to run “npm start dev” or “DISPLAY=:0 npm start dev” I got an error tellming me that “start” doesn’t exist

    pi@raspberrypi:~ $ npm start dev
pm ERR! missing script: start

npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:
npm ERR!     /home/pi/.npm/_logs/2017-03-30T15_11_52_091Z-debug.log

    The log file mentioned in that message contain:

    @romain you have to get in to the magic mirror folder first before you can run npm start

    Ie type
    cd MagicMirror
    And then
    npm start

    Or
    display=:0 npm start
    If you are running it via ssh
