      Hello Everyone, I am working to make my own MagicMirror, But When I Install the software and after creating the Config File, When I Type "npm start’ It Doesn’t show anything, just a black screen. Can anyone help me to fix this ?

        Can you post your terminal output?

            When in black screen, press Alt, or Ctrl. You should get a menu bar at the top where you can quit MM. Then you can see your terminal

                Don’t know why you installed MM on your desktop.

                Also, did you install MM using sudo? That it not necessary or recommended.

                You can try running npm start in the MM directory, without sudo

                      When you’re in the MagicMirror directory try going into the vendor file (cd vendor) and typing “npm install”. I had the same symptoms when I installed mine so it could be the same issue.

                        Never mind. I realise I was running it with node serveronly and that works perfectly with 0 errors. However if I run it with npm start it’s still black.
