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?

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.
