      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?

          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.

                        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?
