      Hi,

      After having followed the tutorial and restarted the raspberry, I only have a while command line on the top left corner, nothing else.

      I didn’t see any error. Does someone has an idea of what could I’ve done wrong? Or where I can look to better understand my issue?

          This one, since I’m installing on my Raspberry pi: https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/wiki/Jessie-Lite-Installation-Guide

            Is this regular Pi or a piZero?

            There are a ton of steps in that tutorial. I found that when I started out doing this I would ‘think’ I’d followed all the steps but missed a ‘few’ LOL That was ME, not saying that’s what you’re doing but it does happen.

            Now if you are using a regular PI why not just install noobs and follow this tutorial here:
            https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror

            Much easier :)

              The regular Pi 3 ;).
              Why? Because it was the officials steps, but I will try with your tutorial

                @jgrossrieder There is an installer script you can use

                bash -c “$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/master/installers/raspberry.sh)”

                  I executed this one, now I’ve some display! But there is a lot of things that the other did that this one didnt, like rotating the screen, or hiding the cursor, any idea how to do this?

                    also, I rebooted the Pi, and the mirror didn’t restart :(
