Magic Mirror black screen Pi Zero W

Zelocked

My magic is not working, and it’s driving me insane.
When MagicMirror launches automatically, (when the gui is disabled) it simply gives me a black screen, and when I launch it manually I get the following code:

/home/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules/electron/dist/electron: error while loading shared libraries: libnss3.so: cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory
npm ERR! file sh
npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE
npm ERR! errno EN0ENT
npm ERR! syscall spawn
npm ERR! magicmirror@1.2.1 start: 'sh run-start.sh' 
npm ERR! spawn EN0ENT
npm ERR! Failed at the magicmirror@1.2.1 start script. 
npm ERR! This is probably not an error with npm. There is a likely additional logging output above.

I’m a complete noon when it comes to Linux please help me!!

@Zelocked Well. Let’s start with some basic questions:

How did you install the Magic Mirror framework?
Did you install node and electron separately?
Did you run npm install in the /home/pi/MagicMirror folder?
Did you copy config.js.sample to config.js in the /home/pi/MagicMirror/config folder?

Zelocked

@bhepler
Yes to both of those.

@Zelocked Can you expand on the log messages you receive? What versions of electron and node did you install?

There’s a picture of the error log (can’t screenshot, ssh not working)
I’m not sure how to check electron version.

Let’s back up a bit. How did you install the Mirror on your Pi Zero? Which steps did you follow?

I took notes of everything I did and all the complications. These are the exact steps I took, to the letter. This was about the sixth attempt at a fresh installation, and I’m at my wit’s end. Thank you sooo much for taking the time to help me and for being patient with me :)

@Zelocked No worries. We all were where you are at some point. Let me take a look.

@bhepler
Thanks, I’m in no rush to finish this so take your time :)

Heh. Well, I recognize which thread you used as a basis.
Okay, one last stupid question: Are you SSH into your Pi Zero, or are you working directly on it with it connected to a monitor right in front of you?

@bhepler
SSH wasn’t working, (hence the crappy pictures and retyped code in lieu of screenshots and copy pasting) so I’ve been working directly on my pi zero.
