    Are you running npm start from your MagicMirror directory?

    pi@magicmirror~/MagicMirror

    Create a working config

      no I didn’t , now there are no errors. Thanks.

      But now the screen is black again.
      npm start works, … hmm …is the configsample.js maybe not working with the Pi Zero ?

      Is there a way to test the MM with an other method ? ( I’m using Midori, like in the tutorial)

        @abergy if there is a module using es6 features it could be a reason for the black screen. can you check the developer console in midori for errors?

        Please create a github issue if you need help, so I can keep track

          Can I check the errorlog over the commandline somehow?

          If I google the “Black screen” problem with the Pi zero W, there are a lot of questions but now solutions.
          Someone said ist maybe because of the ARM6 Arch. on the Pi Zero!?

          Should I buy a Raspi3 to save my nerves ^^?

            There is certainly less trouble with a Pi3. Installation is more direct and you don’t need any work-arounds. Your nerves are another matter. :^)

              @abergy actually you can’t as the logs are related to your browser (midori)

              Please create a github issue if you need help, so I can keep track

                I had the same issue. Tried Chromium instead Midori, where it works fine.
